Delhi Lifts GRAP-4: Non-BS-VI Vehicles Allowed, PUC Rule Stays

• Delhi government allows entry of non-Delhi vehicles below BS-VI emission standards from Thursday after GRAP Stage-IV curbs are revoked.
• The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) lifted GRAP-4 due to improved AQI (271 from 412) and favorable meteorological conditions.
• Restrictions under GRAP Stage-I, II, and III will remain in effect until further orders.
• The "No PUC certificate, No Fuel" rule remains strictly enforced, with DTC drivers deployed at fuel stations for checks.
• CM Rekha Gupta mentioned ongoing efforts like mist spray systems and expanded air quality monitoring to combat pollution.

Why It Matters: Delhi eases GRAP-4 curbs, allowing older vehicles, but strict PUC enforcement continues for cleaner air.
