Delhi Transport Department Mandates Strict PUC Norms, Warns Against Non-Compliance

• Delhi's transport department has directed all PUC centres to strictly enforce government norms to curb vehicle pollution.
• Routine checks revealed that video clips of vehicle emission testing were not being uploaded in the prescribed format on the VAHAN portal by some centres.
• Non-compliance with these instructions will lead to serious action against defaulting PUC centres.
• The Delhi government previously mandated petrol pumps to provide fuel only upon production of a valid PUCC.
• PUC centres are now required to upload emission video clips to AI-based software developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).

Why It Matters: Delhi strengthens vehicle pollution checks, mandating strict PUC compliance and digital video uploads.
