Ban on Diesel Vehicles There is no ban on sale of diesel cars in Delhi and NCR. However, Honble Supreme Court vide its order dated 16-12-2015 passed in the case of M C Mehta v/s Union of India has directed that the registration of SUVs and private cars of the capacity of 2000 CC and using above diesel fuel shall stand banned in the NCR up to 31st March 2016. The same was again extended on 31st march 2016 by Honble Supreme Court announcing to take up the matter on 30th April 2016. Implementation of the said order is to be carried out by the State Governments/Union Territories Administrations. Department of Heavy Industry, Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises have not received any such proposal from the auto manufacturers/ dealers. It is too soon to understand its impact on the said ban on investment in the country. This information was given by Minister of State in the Ministry Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, Shri G.M. Siddeshwara in a written reply in Lok Sabha today. ST
