Noida: Old vehicle owners welcome Supreme Court intervention on ELVs
A day after the Supreme Court of India ordered that no coercive action be taken against the End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) owners, the residents of Noida on Wednesday expressed relief saying that the ban should be based on the fitness and emission level of the vehicle rather than its age. To be sure, the ELV bans were first mandated by the National Green Tribunal in 2015 and reinforced by the Supreme Court in 2018 to tackle the NCR's air pollution crisis. (Raj K Raj/HT Photos) According to the Noida transport department data, there are nearly 1 million registered vehicles, including around 40,000 diesel vehicles over 10 years old and 168,000 petrol vehicles older than 15 years in the Gautam Budh Nagar district. Traffic police said 160 ELVs were seized from January to August in Gautam Budh Nagar. Piyush Gupta, who owns a 2005 Tata Indica, is a resident of Noida's Sector 16, said, 'I have read the Supreme Court judgment for ELVs, and for the time being, it is a big relief for me. Recently, when ELVs were banned on the road, I parked my car at home and switched completely to another vehicle.' Gupta's Indica, which was deregistered from Rajasthan and registered again in Noida, is about to expire this October. As the apex court ordered no action for four weeks, he is exploring other options to sell or use the vehicle. 'In my opinion, if any vehicle passes the fitness test, there should be no ban, because if someone is keeping his/her vehicle in good condition, why should it be banned?' He further argued that for the last several years, the technology in cars has advanced as compared to old 20- to 30-year-old vehicles. Despite all additional changes and improvements, the ban is unjustified. To be sure, the ELV bans were first mandated by the National Green Tribunal in 2015 and reinforced by the Supreme Court in 2018 to tackle the NCR's air pollution crisis. Earlier this year, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) announced that the ELV ban in the National Capital would take effect from July 1, with vehicles identified via Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) at fuel stations being denied fuel. The same rule was to be implemented in five NCR districts from November 1 and across the rest of NCR from April 1, 2026. ELV owners further stressed that the COVID lockdown period and the emission levels caused by vehicles should also be considered. 'The temporary relief for four weeks is more for people like us who are confused between selling vehicles or buying a new one,' said Vinay Kumar, a resident of Noida, Sector 55, who owns the Mahindra Scorpio 2010 model. A senior traffic police officer, on condition of anonymity, said, 'We are analysing the Apex Court's order on ELVs. As of now, we are only issuing challans against the ELVs in the district.' On Monday, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Bhushan R. Gavai and Justices K. Vinod Chandran and N.V. Anjaria ordered that no coercive action be taken against ELV owners. The court also issued a notice to the Delhi government and listed the matter for hearing after four weeks.

DLF eyes more Mumbai projects after successful debut, open to a second project in the financial capital
Delhi-NCR-based real estate developer DLF said its foray into the Mumbai real estate market has gone 'very well,' boosting its confidence for future projects in India's financial capital. Mumbai real estate: Ashok Tyagi, managing director of DLF Limited, has said that the company expects to secure approvals for the next phase of 1–2 million sq ft within the next 12 months. (Picture for representational purposes only)(DLF) Speaking at the Q1FY26 investors' call, Ashok Tyagi, managing director of DLF Limited, said the company expects to secure approvals for the next phase of 1–2 million sq ft within the next 12 months and aims to add about 1 million sq ft every 15 months thereafter. "I think I mean, clearly, we are open to a second project in Mumbai. We just have to figure out the right project and everything. As we have mentioned in the last few quarters, this was our first tentative return to Mumbai, and I think, touch wood, Phase 1 has gone off very well. So I think it clearly gives us more confidence," Tyagi said during the call. "I think hopefully, in the next 12 to 18 months, we should get even better confidence in Mumbai. We also settled our old dispute that we had in Mumbai. So I think clearly, hopefully, Mumbai, the geography, should grow, but just be slightly patient with that," Tyagi said.

"I mean, honestly, outside NCR and the Chandigarh Tri-City where we have vast land potential, I think Mumbai is our only location where we are potentially looking to execute and hopefully, over time, invest because it is the country's biggest real estate market. We were not present for such a long time. This is our first very controlled entry experiment. And hopefully, if this clicks, and if this does well for us and for our customers, there could be growth opportunities there," Tyagi said.

In fact, I was told that Mumbai doesn't even shift PIN codes, but we have business in the South, we have business from all over. We had a massive, massive broker support in Mumbai, who kind of got business from everywhere. The DLF brand prevailed," Aakash Ohri, Joint Managing Director and Chief Business Officer, DLF Home Developers Ltd had said. "So, I think what prevailed there was definitely a very solid futuristic product, very thought after. People love the balconies. People loved every attribute of what we had to present there. So that was very heartening to see," Ohri said.
