MoRTH proposes three-year PUCC validity for newer BS-VI private cars
A draft proposal would allow BS-VI private cars under six years old to renew their Pollution Under Control Certificate once every three years, versus more frequent checks for older vehicles. The change is pending public feedback and final notification.
India’s road transport ministry has proposed extending PUCC renewal for BS-VI private cars under six years to once every three years, reducing ownership compliance burden. Older BS-VI vehicles would face more frequent checks, while BS-IV and earlier norms retain existing renewal cycles.
Why this matters
