Key Highlights
- Vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate will not be allowed to refuel at petrol pumps in the national capital, starting Thursday (December 18).
- Non-essential light commercial vehicles registered outside Delhi will also be prohibited, except for EVs and CNG and BS-VI diesel ones.
- Vehicles carrying construction materials are also not permitted to enter the city.
- All construction and demolition activities are banned, including even linear public projects such as highways, roads, flyovers, power transmission lines, pipelines and telecom works, which are otherwise allowed in lower stages.
- All government and private establishments are required to operate with only 50% staff in offices, as the Delhi government has a standing order mandating this whenever GRAP Stage III is invoked.
