<h1>Transport ministry hikes registration renewal fees for vehicles over 20 years, doubling rates for many vehicle types</h1> A transport ministry notification raises registration renewal fees for vehicles older than 20 years to discourage retention: light motor vehicles' fee doubles to Rs 10,000 (from Rs 5,000), motorcycles to Rs 2,000 (from Rs 1,000), three-wheelers/quadricycles to Rs 5,000 (from Rs 3,500), imported two-/three-wheelers to Rs 20,000 and imported four-wheelers to Rs 80,000. The draft was issued in February and finalised on August 21. Separately, the Supreme Court recently barred coercive action in the Delhi-NCR pending consideration of vehicle usage rather than manufacture year under end-of-life policies.
