Forcing car scrapping after 10/15 yrs is absurd. Car can be good/bad at any age. Few questions: • If age matters, why PUC? • If pollution matters, why spare parali? • Even the West allows old cars if fit. This policy = more manufacturing, more waste.

@shashank_ssj This may be helpful for those who have less used cars …. Obtain fitness certificate after 15 years of initial life

@shashank_ssj Govt wants to boost automobile sector by imposing unnecessary cost on consumers. Old cars can be in good condition which owners might not want to scrap. Boosting manufacturing growth in the behest of consumer hard earned money is a very bad idea.

@shashank_ssj Exactly. If pollution was the real concern, they’d crack down on parali and factories too. Forcing scrapping despite valid PUC just shows it’s more about boosting sales than saving the environment.

@shashank_ssj I hate to ask this, can this be challenged in courts?? This is exceptionalism practiced for Delhi.

@shashank_ssj The real issues are stubble burning, deforestation, too much concretization and so on. But it takes courage to speak against them, so the politicians are instead targeting the middle class as usual.

@shashank_ssj Absolutely. Scrapping cars over 15 yrs is not a well debated decision. Over enthusiasm or collateral purpose?

@shashank_ssj Absolutely agree. A well-maintained car, even 15+ years old, can run cleaner than a badly kept 5-year-old one. Scrapping based on age alone makes no scientific or environmental sense. This seems less about pollution control and more about boosting new car sales. Let fitness

@shashank_ssj If cars can be junked at 10 years why can't politicians be junked after one term. They were useless before being elected.

@shashank_ssj If age mattered, why bother with PUC checks at all? Cars can be clean or dirty at any age. Blanket scrapping just fuels more waste and lines pockets, not cleaner air. Smart policy means targeting real polluters, not punishing owners blindly.

@shashank_ssj There was proposal to set up fitness centres for automobiles. Instead of implementing that process,short cut has been taken to of limit the age of the vehicles irrespective of 'km run' and fitness condition. It is clear example of power of lobbying over technology and Judiciary.

@shashank_ssj Because india is not a nation run on rule of law. If anybody else did it, it would be rightly called 420, cheating, dacoity, intimidation, coercion etc. unless the babus and netas are penalized for hardships of citizens agst common sense, they will make any random rule.

@shashank_ssj Your point’s valid, but blaming parali for pollution misses the mark. Delhi-NCR’s choking because millions—legal and illegal immigrants from East UP, Bihar, Punjab, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Rohingyas—have flooded the region over the past 65 years and keep coming. They’ve

@shashank_ssj This policy forgets that in India, vehicles are family assets, not disposable tools. A car isn’t just transport it’s insurance against emergencies, weddings, and work. Copy-pasting Western playbooks into India’s dense urban chaos is cultural laziness. We need desi solutions, not

@shashank_ssj Whether its a US or a UK or a Norway or a Japan. no where from West to East we have such a draconian policy and car ban. You can drive a 50 year old car, yes 50 year old if you keep it fit. We have car shows specifically meant for modern classics of the 80s-90s-2000s.

@shashank_ssj The goal of reducing pollution is important, but policy must balance environment with economic reality. 🚗🚗Without protecting the middle class, such moves may create resentment and hardship rather than progress.

@shashank_ssj Well answer is Economy has to move upwards & onwards It also rhymes with what US has done by ending EV mandate Car Manufacturers are source of quick economic wealth generation at the cost of many things But - then who cares Because - no one asks Except for free money & food

@shashank_ssj Being a lawyer, why don't you file PIL on this issue, this is kind of forceful, violates basic freedom to own vehicle. Until they provide new vehicles at 50% cost, this is pure robbery on part of Govt.
