Gurugram petrol pumps to get 249 cameras to detect old, end-of-life vehicles
The cameras are part of the first phase of a project to install 775 ANPR cameras in four National Capital Region districts
Gurugram's transport department plans to install 249 Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at petrol pumps to detect end-of-life vehicles and enforce environmental norms. The initiative, led by Transport Minister Anil Vij, is part of a larger project to install 775 ANPR cameras across four National Capital Region districts.
The first phase focuses on Gurugram, Sonipat, Jhajjar, and Faridabad, with Gurugram receiving the most cameras. The cameras will help identify vehicles that aren't compliant with environmental regulations, such as those with old and end-of-life status. The installation is expected to be completed by September 30, 2026. From October 1, fuel will no longer be supplied to end-of-life vehicles in Haryana, following directions from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM).
The Haryana government aims to strengthen pollution-control measures and improve air quality in the NCR region.
