New GRAP rules in Delhi; restrictions in NCR October 2026: Know car fine amount if you violate regulations
For motorists in Delhi-NCR, failure to comply with the updated pollution and vehicle guidelines will result in substantial penalties.
Delhi's new Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) for October 2026 introduces stricter vehicle restrictions due to deteriorating air quality. Motorists without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate will face a ₹10,000 fine and cannot fuel their vehicles at stations. Vehicles not meeting BS-VI emission standards and those registered outside Delhi will be banned from entering the city from November 1.
Parking charges for non-compliant cars will be doubled. Office timings will be staggered, and a 50% work-from-home policy will be enforced in severe stages. Diesel and light/mid-sized commercial vehicles registered outside Delhi will face stricter curbs.
