CAQM panel proposes ban on ICE 4Ws by 2030; OEMs question BEV obsession

According to the recommendations in the interim report, at least every fifth private four-wheeler sold in the Delhi-NCR region from calendar year 2027 should have zero tailpipe emission.

CAQM proposes 100% ZTE sales by 20, starting at 20% in 2027.

Shortfalls to carry forward, with monthly OEM monitoring and stricter curbs for repeat failures.

Cost and charging remain hurdles, with BEVs priced higher than comparable CNG vehicles.

A senior industry executive said that the CAQM committee’s approach was BEV centric and completely overlooked multiple other technologies already available, despite a policy emphasis on a multi technology approach.

The progressively tighter sales mandate for OEMs selling private four-wheelers (4Ws) in the Delhi-NCR region has generated much heat and quite some resentment. The Supreme Court-mandated Commission of Air Quality Management (CAQM) has proposed hard mandates in its interim report for almost all vehicle categories, for abatement of vehicular emissions in the Delhi-NCR region. For private 4W OEMs, it has proposed a complete bar on sales of ICE vehicles by 2030 but restrictions begin from next year itself. Advt

According to the recommendations, at least every fifth private 4W sold in the Delhi-NCR region from calendar year 2027 should have zero tailpipe emission (ZTE). And this mandate gets progressively tighter to 45 per cent in 2028 and 70 per cent in 2029 before becoming 100 per cent by the turn of the decade.
