Mercedes owner slams Delhi govt over old vehicle ban

New Delhi: The Supreme Court and National Green Tribunal (NGT) in their orders have made it clear that diesel and petrol vehicles older than 10 years and 15 years, respectively, cannot run in Delhi-NCR. Such vehicles are responsible for increasing air pollution. The registration of these vehicles will be cancelled, and they must be converted to electric. If old cars ply in Delhi-NCR, then they will be seized and scrapped.
However, it seems some people are not happy with the ruling of SC and NGT. A social media user, who goes by the name Rattan Dhillon, has criticised the Delhi government for considering his father’s Mercedes car as “vintage scrap”.
“This is my dad’s 16-year-old Mercedes E280 V6, still running stronger and cleaner than most of the so-called modern cars that keep breaking down on roads. Every single button still works, and the engine? Still does 0–100 in just 6–7 seconds. Zero pollution, zero nonsense,” the user wrote on X.
“Cars are not just a machine. They are memories,” wrote one user. Another wrote, “This model has been my dream car since I was a student. What a timeless design!”
