The environment minister of Delhi also announced that non-BS-VI vehicles registered outside Delhi will not be allowed entry into the national capital. This essentially means that BS-IV and BS-III vehicles will now not be allowed to enter Delhi. The government made it mandatory for all vehicles to have BS-VI or Bharat Stage 6 emission standards from April 1, 2020. Which means, if you own a vehicle that was manufactured before April 2026 and it is registered outside Delhi, it will now not be allowed entry to the national capital.
