Gurugram, Noida step up border checks ahead of BS-VI vehicle curbs in Delhi

Gurugram and Noida have ramped up border checks in anticipation of Delhi's implementation of BS-VI vehicle restrictions from Sunday, with special teams deployed at key points to screen vehicles and ensure compliance with emission standards. The enforcement will be carried out by joint teams of the Traffic Police and Transport department in Delhi, supported by ANPR and RFID technology.

While newer SUVs can be easily identified, sedans may pose a challenge due to similar designs between BS-VI and BS-IV models. To address this, the challan application linked to the Vahan database will help identify vehicle makes and models, ensuring compliance. The restrictions, which will remain in effect until January 31, 2027, will allow only BS-VI-compliant vehicles, CNG vehicles, and electric vehicles to enter Delhi. Commercial freight carriers have been advised to use peripheral expressways.
