Uttar Pradesh cancels over 8,300 transport permits in road safety drive
In a sweeping enforcement action, the Uttar Pradesh State Transport Department on Friday said it has cancelled over 8,000 transport permits and suspended over 700 for violations ranging from expired validity to breach of statutory conditions. The move, aimed at tightening compliance and improving road safety, also saw three permits linked to fatal crashes -- each involving four to five deaths -- revoked with a one-year ban on fresh issuance to the operators concerned, it said. According to an official statement, the decisions were taken at a meeting of the State Transport Authority (STA) held on August 7, where members reviewed permit matters, clean-fuel compliance in the National Capital Region (NCR), school vehicle safety, and the functioning of Accredited Driving Training Centres (ADTCs). "A total of 8,322 permits were cancelled to ensure strict compliance with age limits, expiry and other statutory conditions... It was decided to suspend 738 permits for 45 days," the statement said. Notices have been issued to 1,200 permit holders whose permits expired more than seven years ago without renewal, while pending renewal and transfer applications have been disposed of in line with the Motor Vehicles Act provisions, it added. "These decisions of the State Transport Authority (STA) have been taken keeping road safety, passenger interest, and environmental protection paramount. There will be strict action on rule violations, while service continuity will also be ensured by approving permits on essential routes. All operators are expected to fully comply with legal provisions and permit conditions," Transport Commissioner Brajesh Narain Singh said. The STA also approved measures to curb vehicular pollution in the NCR, in line with the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) directives. From November 1, 2025, only BS-VI CNG, LNG or electric light, medium, and heavy goods vehicles will be allowed entry into the NCR, while from November 1, 2026, buses entering the region must run on CNG, electricity, or BS-VI diesel. These requirements will be incorporated into permit conditions. For school vehicles, divisional transport authorities have been directed to strictly enforce fitness and safety norms, with violations leading to action against the vehicle's permit, according to the statement. The STA also acted against non-compliant ADTCs, cancelling 11 letters of intent where the institutions failed to set up training centres within a year. New centres will only be approved in line with national rules and after verification by authorised testing agencies, it stated. In a move to improve monitoring, the STA emphasised strict adherence to Rule 103 of the Uttar Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules, 1998, mandating detailed daily records for each transport vehicle. It also proposed a NIC-developed online module integrated with VAHAN 4.0 to record vehicle operation details, driver hours, routes, and passenger or goods data accessible to transport authorities for inspection.

In a first in UP, 25 automobile dealers lose trade licenses for a month
In a first-of-its-kind action, the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department has suspended the trade licenses of 25 automobile dealers across the state for a month, citing continued failure to comply with vehicle registration procedures. A senior transport department official on Friday confirmed that this is the first time such disciplinary action has been taken against dealers for violating registration norms. The suspended dealers, spread across districts including Lucknow, Barabanki, Sitapur, Kushinagar, Moradabad, and Prayagraj, have been barred from selling vehicles or uploading registration requests on the VAHAN portal during the suspension period that began on June 3. After being repeatedly warned, the dealers were served show-cause notices on April 21 and May 15 this year after a detailed analysis of pending registrations from January to May 2025. Despite being given adequate time, they failed to improve their performance or respond satisfactorily, the Office of the Transport Commissioner said in a statement. The department asserted that these actions are part of an ongoing effort to ensure transparent and citizen-focused service delivery in vehicle registration. "Persistent non-compliance with Rule 39 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR) and relevant provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules has led to this action, which is aimed at reinforcing accountability and discipline in the vehicle registration process," the statement read. Among those penalised is a prominent dealership in Lucknow, Aarna Megacorp Pvt. Ltd., "highlighting the department's intent to enforce rules uniformly, irrespective of a dealer's location or scale." In Barabanki, the affected dealers are Barabanki Auto Sales & Service, Bright 2 Wheel Sales, and Kalyan Motors. Sitapur-based dealers Narendra Automobiles, Agarwal Auto Sales, and M/s Budhram Auto have also been suspended. From Kushinagar, similar action has been taken against Gupta Automobiles and Gupta Auto Sales. In Sambhal, Badar Motors faced suspension, while in Pratapgarh, M/s Janta Trading Company was penalised. Dealers from Maharajganj include Shubham Automobiles and Chandra Sales, while Shakti Autos from Raebareli and M/s Auto Wheels from Jaunpur were also among the defaulters. In Sant Kabir Nagar, Bharat Auto Sales faced suspension, along with Shyam Motors in Fatehpur and Shiva Auto Sales in Ghazipur. RN Motors in Rampur and Shyam Motors in Auraiya were also on the list. Further, Jai Auto Mobiles in Ambedkar Nagar, Cross Wheel Auto Pvt. Ltd. in Moradabad, and Uplife Solutions Pvt. Ltd. in Basti were suspended. Saraswati Motors in Prayagraj and Vishal Motors in Unnao were among the final names on the list. In a parallel move, the department has also issued show cause notices to 50 other dealers across the state with high registration pendency. These dealers have been given a 14-day deadline to clear pending files or face similar suspension.
