New Delhi, Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot on Thursday said the Delhi government has increased the pollution under control (PUC) certificate fee for petrol, CNG and diesel vehicles after a gap of almost 13 years.
The duty on petrol, CNG or LPG (including biofuel) for two- and three-wheelers has been increased from Rs 60 to Rs 80 and for four-wheelers from Rs 80 to Rs 110, he said in a statement.
Gehlot said that the fee for PUC certificate for diesel vehicles has been revised from Rs 100 to Rs 140.
He said the new rates will become effective as soon as they are notified by the government.
He said, the Delhi government is committed to maintaining the city's air quality and ensuring that all vehicles meet the required pollution standards.
The minister said that this was a long pending demand of the Delhi Petrol Dealers Association in view of the rising cost of pollution testing services.
He said, "Considering the request of Delhi Petrol Dealers Association and the fact that pollution checking rates have not been revised since 2011, the Delhi government has announced to increase the rates for pollution checking of vehicles in Delhi. "
He said this amendment is necessary to ensure that pollution checking stations can continue to function efficiently and provide quality services to the public.
The association was advocating an increase in pollution testing fees. Its representatives had met Gehlot last month with the demand for revision of rates.
