The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Road Transport Ministry has proposed draft amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, under which Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates for new BS-VI private vehicles would be valid for three years during their first six years from registration, replacing the current one-year validity.
- The framework also sets other validity periods by emission standard and age, including annual checks for BS-VI private vehicles aged six to 10 years, six-monthly tests for those older than 10 years, and shorter periods for transport and older-standard vehicles.
- The changes aim to reduce compliance requirements for owners of newer, cleaner vehicles while keeping more frequent emission checks for older vehicles.
- The ministry has invited objections and suggestions from stakeholders within 30 days before final rules are notified.
What to watch next
- Stakeholder objections and suggestions during the 30-day consultation window
