MoHUA has approved the Guidelines for the PARIVARTAN (Programme for Accelerated Renewal and
Incentivization of Vehicle Assets for Reducing Transport Air Pollution and Network Emissions) Scheme,
aimed at facilitating the replacement of older, highly polluting trucks and buses operating in the National
Capital Region (NCR) with cleaner Bharat Stage (BS)-VI compliant or electric vehicles.
The Scheme, with a total outlay of Rs. 9,585 crore - including budgetary support of Rs. 5,041 crore from
the Central Government - was approved by the Union Cabinet on 3 June 2026. The detailed operational
Guidelines for the Scheme have now been approved by the Hon’ble Union Minister for Housing and
Urban Affairs.
With the Guidelines now in place, the Scheme is ready to be operationalised. The Ministry of Road
Transport and Highways (MoRTH) would be the implementing Ministry under the scheme and will be
funded through the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB), reflecting the Government’s
integrated, region-wide approach to addressing vehicular air pollution across Delhi-NCR.
The PARIVARTAN Scheme carries forward Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s
sustained vision of reducing vehicular pollution in Delhi-NCR through a transition towards cleaner
mobility and creating a healthier living environment for citizens. Building on earlier interventions to
reduce the movement of polluting heavy vehicles through Delhi, the Scheme marks another major step
towards cleaner air and a healthier, more sustainable National Capital Region.
The Scheme provides a comprehensive package of incentives, including Motor Vehicle Tax concessions,
registration fee waivers, 5% interest subvention on vehicle loans, a minimum 8% OEM discount on
eligible new vehicles, monthly fuel voucher support for eligible diesel and CNG replacement vehicles, and
one-time financial assistance for electric replacement vehicles and Certificate of Deposit (CoD) trading.
In a significant step towards ground-level readiness, the States of Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and
NCT of Delhi issued notifications granting Motor Vehicle Tax concession for ten years and registration fee
waiver on the new vehicle purchased under the Scheme.
On industry participation, 11 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) — together accounting for more
than 95% of commercial vehicle market share — have signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with
MoRTH to extend the OEM discount to eligible beneficiaries under the Scheme.The Scheme will be implemented through an integrated digital platform that will seamlessly interface with
VAHAN, V-Scrap, DigiELV, the Public Financial Management System (PFMS), participating lenders, and
fuel voucher systems to ensure transparent, efficient, and end-to-end digital delivery of benefits.
Shri Manohar Lal, Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and Chairman, NCRPB, said:
“The approval of the PARIVARTAN Guidelines is a landmark step for the National Capital
Region. As Chairman of the NCRPB, I am confident that this Scheme will meaningfully reduce
vehicular pollution from ageing trucks and buses and contribute to a marked improvement in
the region’s overall Air Quality Index, bringing real relief to the crores of residents of Delhi-
NCR.”
