News India Live, Digital Desk: A big and relief news has come for lakhs of owners of 10 year old diesel vehicles in Delhi-NCR. Due to the strict orders of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the Supreme Court, the vehicles which till now were considered scrap after completion of 10 years, can now get a new life. Delhi Transport Department has now started issuing No Objection Certificate (NOC) for these 10 year old diesel vehicles.

This NOC simply means that now you can sell or transfer your 10 year old diesel car outside Delhi to any state where such vehicles are allowed to run. This decision is a big relief for lakhs of car owners whose even well-conditioned vehicles become useless just because the 10-year rule is over.

What is the complete rule?

Because of this, the Transport Department did not renew the registration of these vehicles nor did it issue NOC for another state.

But now the Transport Department has relaxed these rules a bit and decided to issue NOC for 10 year old diesel vehicles with some conditions.

For which states will NOC be available?

This is the most important question. Delhi government will not issue NOC for every state. NOC will be issued only for those states or places where there is no restriction on re-registering diesel vehicles older than 10 years.

The Transport Department has released a list, in which Rajasthan, Bihar, Maharashtra, Gujarat Including many states, where these vehicles can be transferred. However, there are some states which have strict rules on registration of old vehicles, such as Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Some NCR areas, NOC will not be available there. Therefore, before transferring a vehicle, it is important to find out what the rules are in that state.
