The DTC told the National Green Tribunal on Wednesday that the ban meant they would not be able to register and run three Volvo buses they were planning to buy for the route.

The Supreme Court had banned the registration of diesel SUVs with engine capacity of more than 2,000 cc last year. Following this, the Delhi transport department had refused to register the three buses.
