It’s time for Delhites to wake up and smell the coffee. Vehicle owners must now ensure that the colour-coded fuel stickers are visible on their windshields. The Delhi Transport Authority has mandated these stickers, and failure to comply will result in fines and denial of Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates.

What is the purpose of the stickers?
The stickers help the authorities identify the fuel type of the vehicle. This is very handy when there are restrictions on certain vehicles when the pollution levels hit high levels under Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) like BS 3, BS 4 and diesel vehicles.
There are three types of hologram stickers — orange for diesel, blue for petrol and CNG and Grey for electric and hybrid vehicles.
