Delhi-NCR states told not to allow cab aggregators, delivery service providers to use diesel, petrol vehicles from 2026
Underlining the need for 'faster transition to efficient and cleaner mobility', the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in Delhi and NCR issued directions on Wednesday not to allow cab aggregators and delivery service providers to use any more diesel or petrol-run vehicles from January 2026. It has also directed the NCR state governments to induct only CNG or electric three-wheeler autorickshaws in the existing vehicle fleet with 'immediate effect'. The commission said that its focus is on reducing vehicular pollution and facilitating faster transition to cleaner modes of mobility in Delhi–NCR, particularly in the sectors of motor vehicle aggregators, delivery service providers, and e-commerce entities. 'The existing fleet of vehicles onboarded by these service providers can be continued for such services,' the directive read. States, including Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, need to formulate comprehensive policies prioritizing the high-vehicle density (HVD) cities of Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, which, besides intra-city requirements, also rely heavily on inter-city movement of vehicles, it said. With regard to Delhi, the commission noted that there is already an existing framework in place with the 2023 Delhi Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Provider Scheme. Under this scheme, licensing and regulation of aggregators providing passenger transport services, delivery services of goods and commodities, including through e-commerce entities, are regulated. In its direction, it also noted that zero-emission vehicles such as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and other clean technologies need to be targeted for clean mobility.

Only CNG, EV three-wheelers, LCVs to be inducted by aggregators and delivery firms in NCR from Jan 2026
New Delhi: In a move to reduce vehicular emissions in Delhi-NCR, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has directed that only CNG and electric vehicles shall be inducted into the commercial fleets of aggregators, delivery service providers, and e-commerce entities operating in the region from January 1, 2026. According to CAQM, the directive applies to three-wheeler autorickshaws, two-wheelers, and four-wheeler Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs) up to 3.5 tonnes (N1 category). No further induction of diesel or petrol-powered vehicles into these fleets will be permitted beyond the stipulated date. 'The existing fleet of vehicles onboarded by these service providers can be continued for such services,' the Commission stated. However, induction of any new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles running purely on diesel or petrol in the mentioned categories will be prohibited after January 1, 2026. The directive is part of a broader effort by CAQM to address the transport sector's significant contribution to the overall air pollution load in the National Capital Region, which remains high throughout the year and intensifies during winter months. The Delhi Transport Department has already implemented the Delhi Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Provider Scheme, 2023, for licensing and regulating aggregators and delivery firms . The Commission has now urged Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan to formulate similar comprehensive policies, especially targeting high vehicle density cities such as Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. The commission emphasized that all Motor Vehicle Aggregators, Delivery Service Providers, and E-Commerce Entities under the jurisdiction of the NCR states must comply with the new directions. Governments of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan have been directed to create dedicated web portals, similar to the one developed by the Delhi Transport Department, for monitoring compliance. The NCR state governments have also been asked to publicise the directions widely among stakeholders.
