15 years old = No fuel = No chill. No fuel for Grandpa's cars

If your car is older than your memes, it’s getting NO fuel! Delhi/NCR doesn’t want to fuel your nostalgia anymore.
Yep, you heard that right, NO fuel for petrol vehicles over 15 years and diesel ones over 10 years.
Let's dive into this:
What’s the Drama?

Delhi government just dropped a bombshell:
Vehicles older than the age limit? No petrol. No diesel. No vroom-vroom.
Petrol pumps have James Bond-level cameras reading number plates.
If your car is too old, the pump guys will give you “the look”... and deny fuel. Politely. But firmly
Wait, Why Though?

Well, blame it on the AQI that's been going off the charts like a DJ's remix.
Old vehicles = more smoke = more choke.
Delhi finally said, “Enough dhoond (smog), let’s clean up.”
Still Love Your Grandpa Car?
We get it. Sentimental feelings are real. But here’s what you can do:
Hide It Like a Treasure:

Keep it inside your home compound. Not one inch outside.
Park it on the street?
Hello, ₹5,000–₹10,000 fine!
Or worse, towed like it never existed.
Scrap It Like a Pro

Step 1: Please take it to a government-approved scrapper.
Step 2: Get a cool certificate, maybe some cash.
Step 3: Use that to buy a new beast with touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and all that jazz.
Can I Drive It Outside Delhi?
Technically, yes. But don’t be that person who gets caught while flexing their classic ride.
Delhi NCR borders are watching.
Cops won’t listen to “But bro, it’s vintage!”
We know it stings, but hey! This is a wake-up call on wheels.

Old cars are cool, but not when they’re smokin’... in the wrong way.
So:
Respect the rule.
Fuel the future.
And don’t forget — Delhi is watching, and so are the cameras.
