* Delhi-Gurugram section of NH48 (from Km 14300 starting of RTR flyover till Km 42000 Kherki Daula User Fee Plaza).
* **Penalties:** Violation of these restrictions will result in a fine of Rs. 2000.

* **Timelines:** The policy came into force upon publication in the Official Gazette on June 4, 2025.
