Non-BS-VI commercial goods vehicles not allowed in Delhi

Delhi has banned the entry of all non-Delhi-registered commercial goods vehicles below BS-IV standards from November 1, 2025, to curb pollution. The CAQM move targets vehicular emissions, with exemptions for BS-VI, CNG, LNG, and electric vehicles entering the capital.

According to the directive, Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs), Medium Goods Vehicles (MGVs), and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) registered outside Delhi and falling below BS-IV standards will not be allowed to enter the city. However, BS-IV-compliant commercial vehicles will continue to be permitted entry until October 31, 2026. This move provides operators a limited window to upgrade their fleets to cleaner models.

BS, or Bharat Stage, refers to India’s vehicle emission standards that regulate the level of pollutants released from engines. The current standard, BS-VI, is significantly stricter and designed to drastically cut emissions of harmful gases and particulates.
