Cabinet Approves Rs 95.85 Billion Scheme For Delhi NCR Vehicles

10 Jun 2026 CW Team

The Union cabinet has approved a scheme worth Rs 95.85 billion (bn) to replace ageing trucks and buses operating in the Delhi-NCR region. The programme is aimed at accelerating fleet renewal, improving air quality and reducing the environmental footprint of commercial road transport in the national capital region. It covers both heavy goods vehicles and passenger buses and is presented as a central initiative to modernise the region's public and freight transport stock.

The scheme provides financial support and incentives for operators to retire older vehicles and adopt newer, more efficient models. It is structured to encourage compliance with prevailing emission norms and to ease the transition for small fleet owners and independent operators. Officials have outlined that the scheme will be administered through designated agencies and will align with existing regulatory and scrappage mechanisms to streamline approvals and disbursements.

Representatives of the automobile industry welcomed the announcement, describing it as a constructive measure to revive demand for commercial vehicles and to strengthen supply chains. Manufacturers, dealers and trade groups noted that accelerated replacement activity would stimulate manufacturing, maintenance services and ancillary suppliers in the automotive ecosystem. Industry sources also indicated that the measure should enhance vehicle safety and operational efficiency while helping to lower emissions across urban corridors.

Authorities said they will publish operational guidelines and eligibility criteria in the coming weeks, and that implementation plans will be coordinated with state governments in the national capital region. Stakeholders will monitor rollout timelines and administrative procedures to assess immediate market impact. Observers will watch for uptake among small operators and for indicators on vehicle turnover and pollution metrics to evaluate the scheme's effectiveness.
