India set to ban use of diesel auto rickshaws in areas around Delhi to tackle air pollution

Описание: As part of restrictions to tackle poor air quality, India is set to ban the use of diesel auto rickshaws in areas around New Delhi, which remains the world's most polluted capital city. Starting from Jan 1, 2023, no new diesel-powered rickshaws will be registered in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. From 2027, only auto rickshaws with compressed natural gas or electricity can operate in the region. The announcement coincides with the country's National Pollution Control Day, which honours victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy.
