The Delhi traffic police has devised and put into effect new traffic regulations for a short period of time due to the city's rising pollution levels. Cars with BS3 and BS4 engines will need to abide with the new regulations. Those who live in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, or the nearby districts and own cars with BS3 petrol engines and BS4 diesel engines must exercise particular caution and be aware of the new traffic laws.

The new regulation states that if your diesel vehicle's engine is BS4 or lower, you will receive a challan. Similar to the above, those whose petrol car engines are BS3 or less will also be subject to fine, a report from Live Hindustan states.

The diesel car must have an engine that is BS5 or higher, according to the temporary regulation that the traffic police have put in place. Additionally, the petrol vehicle's engine should be BS4 or higher. A punishment of between ₹10,000 and ₹20,000 may be imposed on the car's driver if this is not followed.
