flag Supreme Court ends exemption for essential goods trucks from Delhi’s pollution fee, mandating uniform charges to cut congestion and boost revenue.

flag The Supreme Court has ended the exemption for commercial vehicles transporting essential goods like vegetables, milk, and grains from paying Delhi’s Environment Compensation Charge (ECC), mandating uniform fees for all such vehicles to reduce traffic congestion and pollution at entry points. flag The move, aimed at streamlining toll operations and boosting revenue for environmental projects, follows concerns over long queues and idling vehicles caused by physical inspections. flag The court noted the fee’s impact on essential goods prices would be minimal, and the change supports integration with the national Fastag system. flag The Municipal Corporation of Delhi supports the decision, citing improved traffic flow and reduced operational inefficiencies.
