To curb the vehicles spreading pollution, the Transport Department of Delhi periodically checks the Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates and if you do not have a valid PUC certificate, you can be fined a hefty amount of Rs 10,000 in Delhi.

He said that the Delhi government is committed to maintaining the air quality of the city and ensuring that all vehicles meet the required pollution standards. In general terms, these rates have been increased to prevent Delhi's air from becoming more poisonous. Delhi's AQI remains in a very bad state, in such a situation, there has always been a demand to implement strict standards here to control pollution.
