<h1>Central government panel delays fuel ban on old vehicles until November 1 after Delhi requests postponement</h1> A central government panel deferred the fuel ban on end-of-life vehicles in Delhi until November 1, originally scheduled for July 1. The Delhi Petrol Dealers' Association welcomed the delay, citing need for technical preparations and trial runs at fuel stations. The ban targets diesel vehicles over 10 years and petrol vehicles over 15 years old. Implementation will now include five neighboring districts alongside Delhi. Fuel stations have installed automated number plate recognition cameras to detect overage vehicles through the central database. The Delhi Environment Minister had requested the postponement, citing operational challenges and calling the move premature.
