In these, the state government can ban light vehicles with BS3 petrol and BS4 diesel engines in Stage 3 in Delhi-NCR. Stage 3 air pollution will be classified through a graded response action plan approved by the Ministry of Environment and Forests. From 401 to 450 AQI it will remain Stage 3 and pollution level will reach Stage 4 as soon as it exceeds 450.

Once the pollution level in Delhi NCR reaches Stage 4, the plan will ban the entry of trucks, diesel medium-sized freighters and heavy goods carriers with Delhi registration in the city. Vehicles carrying essential goods will not come under this purview. The new policy also states that from January 1, 2023, fuel pumps in Delhi-NCR will not sell fuel to any vehicle that does not have a valid PUC certificate.
Apart from this, a plan has also been sent to all the states of Delhi and NCR to prepare CNG and LNG fueling network so that commercial vehicles can be made to run on gas instead of fuel.
