CAQM Mandates Cleaner Mobility for Aggregators and E-Commerce in NCR

Acknowledging the existing “Delhi Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Provider Scheme, 2023” by the GNCTD, the CAQM has urged other NCR states—Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan—to formulate similar policies. These policies should prioritize high-vehicle-density (HVD) cities such as Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, which experience heavy intra-city and inter-city vehicle movement.

Key Directives for Cleaner Fleets

To facilitate a faster transition from conventional diesel/petrol vehicles to more sustainable modes, the CAQM has issued the following mandates:

Three-Wheelers: Henceforth, only CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) or Electric 3-Wheeler Autorickshaws shall be inducted as additions to existing fleets.

Four-Wheeler Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs), Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs) (N1 category, up to 3.5 T), and Two-Wheelers: With effect from January 1, 2026, no new conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles running purely on diesel or petrol will be allowed for induction into the existing fleets of these service providers.

Existing Fleet Continuation: The current fleets of vehicles already onboarded by these service providers can continue to be utilized for their services.
