You won’t be able to buy a diesel vehicle in Delhi, thanks to NGT

In what can be a setback for automakers, the National Green Tribunal said no new diesel vehicles will be registered in Delhi, amid clamour on rising pollution levels.
In a move to curb rising pollution levels, the NGT has also directed the Centre and state governments not to buy any diesel vehicle for their departments.
A bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice R Banumathi expressed shock over the high pollution level in the city and directed the Centre and state government to bury their differences and prepare a mutually agreeable common minimum programme to tackle the crisis.
The move, however, will not impact private individuals.
The NGT also said that there will be no re-registration after 10 years of diesel vehicles in the Capital.
Speaking about Delhi government's odd-even formula, the bench said, “There can't be a single solution of the problem. There has to be multi-pronged approach. All authorities including the Centre and state government should sit together along with environmental experts. There should be brainstorming session and they should come out with a solution.”
