SC puts brakes on older heavy vehicles

  • 03/02/2004

In a major blow to Mumbai city transporters the supreme court refused to extend the January 31 deadline for eight-year-old heavy vehicles to convert to compressed natural gas (CNG) or be phased out. The court also refused the Maharashtra government's plea to stay the phase-out order passed by the Bombay high court. The apex court told the state to move the high court for any relief.
