Delhi Pollution Curbs Explained: Which Vehicles Are Allowed to Enter the City

Under the current rules, electric and CNG vehicles are permitted to operate within Delhi without restrictions. This applies to both private and commercial vehicles and covers those registered in Delhi as well as vehicles registered outside the city. Owners of electric cars, CNG cars, two-wheelers, and commercial vehicles can continue to drive and enter Delhi during the ongoing curbs.

GRAP Stage IV places strict limits on the movement of BS3 petrol and BS4 diesel vehicles across Delhi-NCR. However, these restrictions do not apply to vehicles powered by electricity or CNG. As a result, electric and CNG vehicles are allowed to ply on city roads even as other categories face operational bans. The rules apply uniformly across private and commercial segments.

Commercial vehicles running on CNG, LNG, or electricity are also allowed to operate in Delhi under the current regulations. This includes goods carriers and public transport vehicles, subject to compliance with other applicable conditions.
