The Supreme Court has mandated that all vehicles in the National Capital Region (NCR) must comply with the High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) Order, 2018, and display color-coded stickers indicating fuel type. This directive aims to enhance vehicle identification and address environmental concerns.Effective immediately, NCR states are instructed not to process vehicle-related services—such as ownership transfers, hypothecation additions, address changes, or fitness certifications—for vehicles lacking HSRPs and the appropriate color-coded stickers. Additionally, Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates will not be issued to non-compliant vehicles.The Court specified that vehicles sold on or after April 1, 2019, must adhere to the HSRP provisions. Non-compliance will result in penal action under Section 192(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. NCR states are directed to initiate enforcement drives to identify and penalize such vehicles.This ruling is part of broader efforts to combat air pollution in Delhi and surrounding areas, addressing issues like stubble burning, emissions from power plants, and solid waste management. The Court emphasized the necessity of strict enforcement to ensure the effectiveness of these measures.The Supreme Court has requested that NCR states submit compliance affidavits within a month, detailing their plans to enforce these directives for vehicles registered both before and after April 1, 2019. A compiled report from the Central Government is also expected by March 17, 2025, with a review scheduled for March 21, 2025.In a related initiative, the Court urged NCR states to consider policies promoting the adoption of electric vehicles within government organizations and municipal bodies, aiming to further reduce vehicular pollution in the region.
