Delhi to penalise vehicles without fuel-type stickers, says Transport Department
New Delhi, April 21: The Delhi Transport Department has announced that vehicles operating without colour-coded fuel-type stickers will now face penalties under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The move comes as part of an effort to enforce compliance with registration norms and ensure better regulation of vehicular emissions in the national capital.
In a public notice issued on Sunday, the department said that vehicles lacking these stickers would be penalised under Section 192(1) of the Act, which deals with violations of Section 39 pertaining to the use of unregistered vehicles or non-compliance with prescribed registration conditions.
"The vehicle owners are advised to ensure strict compliance with the aforesaid order," the notice read.
The fuel-type stickers—light blue for petrol and CNG, orange for diesel, and grey for other fuel types—have been a mandatory component of vehicle identification since 2019, following the rollout of High Security Registration Plates (HSRP), which were first introduced in 2012-13.
Transport officials clarified that non-compliant vehicles will also be denied Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates, further limiting their ability to operate legally on city roads.
In 2020, the department had launched a special enforcement drive to implement the HSRP and sticker requirements more strictly, imposing fines of ₹5,000 on violators.
