CAQM reviews delivery-fleet compliance and Delhi goods-vehicle entry restrictions

CAQM reviewed pollution-control preparations on 29.09.2026, including cleaner-mobility rules for delivery services and e-commerce entities and Delhi entry restrictions for commercial goods vehicles. It also reviewed fuelling restrictions for vehicles without valid PUCCs, enforceable from 01.10.2026.

What it means for online and offline

Verify owned and partner fleets’ pollution-under-control certificates and Delhi entry eligibility ahead of the 1 October 2026 fuelling restrictions to protect omnichannel delivery commitments.

Signals to track

  • Published enforcement scope, exemptions and fuel-station implementation from 1 October 2026.
  • Reported fuelling denials, certificate-renewal turnaround times and vehicle downtime.
  • Delhi entry-check delays and changes in cross-boundary replenishment reliability.
  • Compliant-vehicle rental rates, carrier surcharges and delivery-partner exits.
  • Changes in on-time delivery, same-day coverage, pickup share and store-level stockouts.

The counter-case

This may be routine compliance enforcement rather than a material omni-channel disruption. Fuelling restrictions target vehicles lacking valid pollution-under-control certificates, not delivery fleets generally. Operators with compliant or electric fleets could see limited incremental impact, and a CAQM review does not itself establish new entry restrictions.
