India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) proposes extending the age limit for certain motor vehicles by five years, according to reporting by NDTV.
The proposal covers vehicles powered by electric power (EV), as well as those running on compressed natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen. The government frames the move as an extension of the existing lifespan rules, increasing how long these vehicles are permitted to operate under the applicable framework.
NDTV links the proposal to broader steps under the same policy direction, including digitisation efforts for national permits. The outlet reports that the plan would allow national permits to be digitised, aligning permit administration with updated regulatory processes. Other outlets are not provided here, so differences in angle across sources cannot be assessed beyond this account.
