No new registration of diesel-run taxis in Delhi: SC

The Supreme Court today ruled that there will be no new registration of diesel-run taxis in the national capital, but gave a breather to cabs having all India tourist permits to ply in the national capital till the expiry of their permits. The apex court said no renewal of the same would be done.<br/><br/>A bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said all registration of city taxis shall only be permitted only if the vehicles operate on dual-fuel, CNG/Petrol, or purely CNG or petrol. <br/><br/>New AITP permits will be labelled 'AITP-N' and holders will not be authorised to offer point-to-point ,within city, services in NCR while existing AITPs will be converted to 'AITP-O' permits for NCR to provide point-to-point services,<br/>like those used by business process outsourcing (BPO) firms, the court added.<br/><br/>It, however, clarified that diesel cabs which are being allowed to ply will run subject to norms on safety, security, pricing and other clearances given by competent authorities. The top court also said that AITP taxi would be allowed to carry out point to point travel service within NCT.
