(File photo) The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) raised the registration renewal fee for motor vehicles older than 20 years, with the objective of discouraging people from using older vehicles. In a notification, the transport ministry announced that the renewal fee for light motor vehicles (LMVs) older than 20 years has been doubled to Rs 10,000 from Rs 5,000.
The renewal fee will rise from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 for motorcycles older than 20 years, while the renewal cost will increase from Rs 3,500 to Rs 5,000 for three-wheelers and quadricycles falling in the category, as per the notification.
In case of imported two- or three-wheelers, the cost of the renewal of the certificate of registration will be Rs 20,000, while for imported vehicles with four or more wheels, it will be Rs 80,000.
The draft amendment was issued in February and finalised on August 21.
In October 2021, the transport ministry increased the registration and renewal fee for motorcycles, three-wheelers and cars.
In August this month, the Supreme Court ordered authorities not to take coercive action against the owners of diesel vehicles that are more than 10 years old and petrol vehicles older than 15 years in Delhi-NCR.
The decision came after the Delhi government urged the court to consider the actual usage of vehicles rather than just their manufacturing year while implementing the end-of-life vehicle policy.
