Delhi extends permit validity for all taxis playing on CNG

The Delhi Transport Department extended the permit validity of all taxis plying on CNG or other clean fuels and possessing a contract carriage permit. The validity now has been extended from eight years to 15 years.

However, “this extension is subject to the fulfilment of all other prescribed conditions as stipulated in the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, and Delhi Motor Vehicles Rules (DMVR), 1993”, the Transport Department said.

The transport department took notice of the disparity in the duration of permits among various categories of taxis operating under the contract carriage permit in Delhi.

This discrepancy prompted the department to rectify the situation and ensure fair treatment for all taxi owners in the region.
