Introduction
Delhi has one of the most aggressive vehicle pollution control frameworks in India. While the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy encourages states to offer incentives for scrapping old vehicles, Delhi has not announced any direct monetary incentive or rebate for vehicle scrapping yet.
This has created confusion among vehicle owners, fleet operators, and businesses about whether scrapping is mandatory, optional, or financially beneficial in Delhi.
This article explains the current status of the Delhi Scrap Policy, why incentives are absent, what rules still apply, and how Carbasket helps vehicle owners legally scrap vehicles without incentives.
Current Status of Delhi Scrap Policy (2025)
Delhi does not provide cash incentives, road tax rebates, or registration fee waivers for scrapping old vehicles.
Key Facts:
- ❌ No scrappage incentive announced by Delhi Government
- ❌ No direct cash benefit for private vehicle owners
- ❌ No additional rebate on new vehicle purchase
- ✅ Strict enforcement of age-based vehicle bans
- ✅ Mandatory scrapping or de-registration for banned vehicles
Delhi’s focus is pollution reduction, not financial motivation.
Vehicles Affected Under Delhi Rules
Under Delhi and NCR pollution control orders:
Diesel Vehicles
- 10 years or older → Not allowed on road
Petrol / CNG Vehicles
- 15 years or older → Not allowed on road
Applies To:
- Cars
- Bikes & scooters
- Taxis
- Commercial vehicles
- Company-owned vehicles
- Government-auctioned vehicles
Once banned, the vehicle:
- Cannot be renewed
- Cannot pass fitness
- Cannot be transferred
- Cannot be insured
- Cannot legally operate
Why Delhi Has No Scrapping Incentive
Delhi’s approach differs from other states due to:
- Severe air quality concerns
- NGT & Supreme Court directives
- CAQM enforcement for NCR
- Focus on vehicle removal, not replacement
The policy is designed to force exit of polluting vehicles, not subsidize new purchases.
Is Vehicle Scrapping Mandatory in Delhi?
Scrapping is not optional once a vehicle is:
- Over-age
- Fitness-rejected
- De-registered by enforcement agencies
- Seized or impounded
- Flagged on Parivahan or traffic systems
Vehicle owners must either:
- Scrap the vehicle legally, or
- Face penalties, seizure, and future liability
What Happens If You Don’t Scrap an Old Vehicle in Delhi?
Failing to act can result in:
- ❌ Heavy fines
- ❌ Vehicle seizure
- ❌ No resale or transfer
- ❌ Insurance invalidation
- ❌ Continued legal ownership & liability
- ❌ Problems during property sale or loan checks
