During Delhi govt’s drive to stop fuel supply to end-of-life vehicles. FileAs the Supreme Court on Tuesday granted interim relief to owners of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), the state government welcomed the decision, stressing that the move could bring permanent relief to the residents of Delhi.
Commenting on the development, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said, “By actively participating in the judicial process, we will continue to firmly represent the interests of the people of Delhi.”
Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa also responded positively to the court’s decision. He thanked the Supreme Court and Gupta for “securing much-needed relief for lakhs of vehicle owners in Delhi.”
“This is a big relief for the people of Delhi… Chief Minister Rekha Gupta fought this battle on behalf of the people of Delhi. We hope that in the days to come, we will be able to bring permanent relief to the residents of Delhi,” the minister said.
In April this year, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) had directed a phased denial of fuel to ELVs at fuel stations in the NCR (National Capital Region) — in Delhi from July 1, in high-density NCR districts from November 1, and in the rest of the NCR from April 1, 2026.
The move was intended to force ELVs, a major source of vehicular pollution, off the roads.
