Amid the concerning policies related to the fuel ban and vehicle scrap policy in Delhi, the Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear an application seeking to allow vehicles meeting the BS-VI emission standards to operate in the Delhi-NCR instead of a blanket age-based ban on vehicles.

As reported by news agency ANI, a bench of Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran agreed to examine whether BS-VI compliant vehicles should have an end-of-life period of 15 years for petrol vehicles and 10 years for diesel vehicles in the NCR.

While considering the BS-VI end-of-life argument, the bench posted the matter for hearing next Monday, after an advocate mentioned the application for urgent listing.
