Centre launches Clean Mobility Scheme to replace ageing vehicles in Delhi-NCR.
It targets over 2 lakh vehicle owners, including nearly 1.9 lakh truck operators, offering financial incentives such as a 5% interest subvention on loans for five years, monthly fuel vouchers of up to ₹4,800, and additional benefits for electric vehicle adoption. Environmental experts say the timing is crucial as early implementation allows smoother transition before the high-pollution winter season. While the scheme has been welcomed as a strong policy step, experts emphasize that effective execution, monitoring, and technological enforcement will be key to ensuring real improvements in air quality across the region.
