Delhi’s Odd-even Car Rationing Scheme Begins Today
The rule will be applicable till November 15
With pollution levels in Delhi reaching record high yet again, the AAP-led government has implemented the third edition of its odd-even rule in the city. The rule will be in effect from today (November 4) until November 15. If you are a resident of Delhi or plan to visit the city, here’s a quick roundup of the rules to help you stay on the right side of the law as well as the environment.
-
Vehicles with registration plates ending with even numbers - 2,4,6,8 - can only ply on roads on even dates. Meanwhile, cars that bear registration plates ending with odd numbers - 3,5,7,9 - will only be allowed to run on odd dates.
-
The rule is applicable from 8am to 8pm but won’t be enforced on Sunday (November 10).
-
Two-wheelers and all-electric cars like the yundai Kona Electric, Tata Tigor EV and Mahindra e20 Plus are allowed to ply freely on the roads.
-
Unlike 2016, CNG car owners are not exempted from this rule this time around.
-
Failure to follow these rules will attract a fine of Rs 4,000 (increased from Rs 2,000 due to change in MV Amendment Act 2019).
-
Women drivers are exempt from the rule, but only if they are driving alone, have female occupants or are accompanied by children aged less than 12 years.
-
Other exemptions include private buses carrying school-children. VIPs including the Prime Minister, President and others too are exempt from the rule.
-
Ola and Uber have announced that they will do away with surge pricing until the end of the current odd-even rule.
Given the dismal air quality and high levels of PM2.5 in the capital city’s air, we would suggest you stay indoors and travel only if absolutely necessary.
