During the continuous checking on the roads of Noida and Greater Noida, more than 50 vehicles have been seized so far. This strictness is just the beginning, because from November 1, 2025, fuel will be completely stopped at petrol pumps in Noida for such vehicles.
Petrol and diesel Rules: If you have a 10 year old diesel or 15 year old petrol vehicle, then be alert now. Gautam Buddha Nagar Traffic Police and ARTO department have started a big action on such old vehicles. During the ongoing checking on the roads of Noida and Greater Noida, more than 50 vehicles have been seized so far. This strictness is just the beginning, because from November 1, 2025, fueling of such old vehicles at petrol pumps in Noida will be completely stopped.
Noida Traffic Police Action
Giving information, DCP Traffic Lakhan Yadav said that an action plan has been prepared, in which teams have been deployed at major intersections of the city. The age of every incoming and outgoing vehicle is being checked and as soon as a vehicle is found to be more than 10 years old diesel or more than 15 years old petrol, it is being seized immediately. Along with the traffic police, the ARTO department is also fully active in this action.
Delhi government changed the decision
This step has been taken in view of the increasing level of air pollution in Delhi NCR. Although the Delhi government had announced to implement this rule from July 1, but on the evening of July 3, citing technical reasons, it was postponed for the time being. Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that now old vehicles will be banned on the basis of pollution level instead of their age.
Noida Police will not change the rules
But the Noida administration is not in a mood to back down at the moment. The officials have made it clear that this rule will be strictly implemented in Noida. In such a situation, the coming days may be full of difficulties for those vehicle owners who are still careless about the rules. If you are also driving such a vehicle, then look for an alternative from now on, because from November neither petrol nor relief will be available.
