Gurugram, Nov. 6 -- More than 20,500 older commercial vehicles have been registered under the Centre's Parivartan Scheme across Haryana's NCR districts since July, but officials say many owners remain reluctant to replace them despite financial incentives. Launched on July 14, the scheme encourages owners of ageing buses and goods vehicles to scrap them, or sell eligible vehicles outside the NCR, and buy cleaner replacements. It comes amid tighter restrictions on polluting vehicles across Delhi-NCR. The incentives include a 10-year exemption from motor vehicle tax, waived registration fees, a 5% interest subsidy on loans for five years and at least an 8% discount from participating manufacturers. Buyers of eligible BS-VI diesel or CNG vehicles can also receive monthly fuel vouchers of Rs.1,200 to Rs.4,800 for five years. Of 20,516 registrations across Haryana's NCR districts, Gurugram accounts for 5,267 and Faridabad for 4,841. In Faridabad, only 4,841 of 12,198 owners contacted have registered. The Gurugram RTO has conducted 26 awareness campaigns this year alone. Officials said many owners fear losing money by selling BS-IV vehicles purchased just seven or eight years ago. Under the scheme, BS-III and older vehicles must be scrapped, while BS-IV vehicles can also be sold in eligible locations outside the NCR....
