The transition is expected to begin with <strong>buses by 2025<\/strong>, eventually extending to all vehicle categories by <strong>2035<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development follows a similar initiative in <strong>Maharashtra<\/strong>, where a <strong>seven-member committee<\/strong> was recently formed to explore the possibility of banning petrol and diesel vehicles in the <strong>Mumbai Metropolitan Area (MMA)<\/strong> to address deteriorating air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Past Proposals on Diesel Bans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first time a ban on diesel vehicles has been discussed. In 2023, the <strong>Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas<\/strong> had acknowledged a report by the <strong>Energy Transition Advisory Committee (ETAC)<\/strong>, which suggested banning <strong>diesel-run four-wheelers by 2027<\/strong> in cities with over <strong>one million residents<\/strong>. However, the government has not yet accepted this recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ETAC was formed to develop a roadmap for India&#8217;s <strong>energy transition<\/strong> and <strong>net-zero emissions goal by 2070<\/strong>. It has proposed significant measures, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Phasing out diesel buses from 2024<\/strong> in urban areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allowing CNG buses only until 2035<\/strong> before transitioning fully to clean energy options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>India\u2019s Commitment to Net Zero by 2070<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Oil Ministry<\/strong> emphasized that ETAC\u2019s recommendations involve <strong>multiple ministries and stakeholders<\/strong> across states, and a final decision is yet to be made. The consultation process is still ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The push toward cleaner transportation aligns with India\u2019s broader efforts to <strong>reduce carbon emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources<\/strong>. If implemented, the <strong>ban on petrol and diesel vehicles<\/strong> in Delhi-NCR could become a <strong>groundbreaking policy for pollution control and clean mobility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With rising concerns over <strong>Delhi\u2019s air pollution<\/strong>, the government is exploring <strong>long-term solutions<\/strong> to reduce emissions. While a final decision is awaited, a potential shift to <strong>electric, hybrid, and CNG vehicles<\/strong> could significantly improve air quality in the region. The success of this transition will depend on <strong>policy execution, stakeholder cooperation, and infrastructure readiness<\/strong> for cleaner fuel alternatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The central government is in talks to gradually phase out all petrol and diesel vehicles in Delhi-NCR and replace them with battery electric, hybrid, and CNG vehicles, according to a report in The Economic Times.
