Vehicle Permits & Compliance Delhi 2026
Operating a commercial vehicle in Delhi without the correct permits is a punishable offence under the Motor Vehicles Act.

In 2026, Delhi’s transport ecosystem has undergone a seismic shift. The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) have integrated permit issuance directly with environmental benchmarks. For commercial fleet owners and individual operators, “compliance” is no longer a static one-time event but a continuous digital obligation.
The introduction of the Unified Permit Portal (UPP) in Delhi has streamlined applications, but the technical barriers have increased. From mandatory AIS-140 GPS integration to the “Clean Fuel” mandate for NCR-registered goods carriers, the legal landscape is dense. Kagzikaam serves as your expert anchor in this storm of bureaucracy, ensuring your vehicles remain on the road and out of the RTO impound yards.
Whether you are managing a fleet of BS-VI heavy trucks or transitioning to EV-based last-mile delivery, understanding the interplay between State Permits, National Permits (NP), and the specific MCD Green Tax is critical for profitability.

Tax Slabs, Fees & Eligibility (2026 Update)
Delhi’s taxation is now weighted heavily against older diesel technology. The MCD Parking Fee and State Road Tax are calculated based on the vehicle’s ex-showroom price and GVW.
| Vehicle Category | Fuel Type | Permit Fee (5 Year) | Road Tax (LTT/Annual) |
|---|---|---|---|
| LGV (< 3000 kg) | CNG / Electric | ₹2,000 | Exempt (EV) / 4% (CNG) |
| HGV (Trucks) | BS-VI Diesel | ₹2,515 | ₹1,915 – ₹3,320 (Annual) |
| Tourist Cabs | Petrol / EV | ₹500 (AITP) | 10% of Ex-Showroom |
| Passenger Bus | CNG / EV | ₹1,100 per seat | ₹1,800 per seat (A/C) |
Eligibility Criteria
For a vehicle to be eligible for a Delhi Permit in 2026, it must not exceed the age limit of 10 years (Diesel) or 15 years (Petrol/CNG). Additionally, commercial vehicles must undergo a Fitness Test every 2 years (for vehicles up to 8 years old) or annually thereafter.
