This study identifies and discusses legal pathways for implementing low-emission zones (LEZs) and zero-emission zones (ZEZs) in India at the national, state, and city levels.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a direct cause of human-induced climate change. India accounted for 2.9 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2019. The transportation sector accounts for roughly 10% or 290 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

The Goa government has notified the Registered Vehicle Scrapping Policy of Goa, 2023 giving detailed guidelines over scrapping of old, unfit vehicles and also offering incentives to those voluntarily handing over their old vehicles to Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF).

Air pollution is universally recognized as one of the most pressing environmental challenges in the Asia-Pacific region. In recent years, this impact has risen at an alarming rate and has resulted in an increased premature death and threatened the livelihoods and sustainable development in region.

These guidelines are issued in suppression of earlier CPCB guidelines published in the year 2019 and aligned with Motor Vehicles (Registration and Functions of Vehicle Scrapping Facility) Rules, 2021 notified by MoRTH, the Steel Scrap Recycling Policy of Ministry of Steel issued in 2019 and the Automobile Industry Standards for Collection and Di

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) on February 17, 2023 issued the Draft Central Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Rules, 2023 to further amend the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.

The climate crisis is real, and its threats and consequences are more tangible than ever before. With the transport sector accounting for nearly 12 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, there needs to be a concerted effort to mitigate the impacts of emissions from road and passenger transportation.

Achieving China’s dual ambitions of peak carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 will require a strong focus on the transport sector and that transport-related air pollutant and CO2 emissions be monitored and regulated in a coordinated fashion going forward.
