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.

Informing Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor was a crime: Rahul Gandhi on Jaishankar's 'admission'
New Delhi, May 17 (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at the government for "informing" Pakistan about targeting terror infrastructure as part of Operation Sindoor, saying it was a crime and asking who had authorised it.
In a post on X, Gandhi questioned External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar for publicly admitting that the government of India (GOI) had informed Pakistan of the action and asked how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost as a result.
"Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that GOI did it. Who authorised it? How many aircraft did our air force lose as a result?" said Gandhi, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.
He also shared an undated video of Jaishankar saying India had informed Pakistan of the action against terror infrastructure on its soil.
Jaishankar can be heard saying in the video, "At the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan, saying, 'We are striking at terrorist infrastructure and we are not striking at the military.'"
"So the military has the option of standing out and not interfering in this process. They chose not to take that good advice," the minister can be heard saying in the clip.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB), however, has debunked claims that Jaishankar had said India informed Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor. In a post on X, the PIB's Fact Check Unit said the minister had not made any such statement and that he was being misquoted.
Operation Sindoor was the Indian offensive against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.
Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime.
