BLUE FOR PETROL, CNG; ORANGE FOR DIESEL

• The Supreme Court agreed to a proposal of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to have hologram-based coloured stickers on vehicles to indicate the nature of the fuel used in them.
• The MoRTH told a Bench led by Justice Madan B. Lokur that hologram-based sticker of light blue colour will be used for petrol and CNG-run vehicles while similar sticker of orange colour would be placed on diesel vehicles.
• Sept. 30 will be the deadline for NCR to implement the use of coloured stickers on vehicles.
• The apex court also asked Additional Solicitor General A.N.S. Nadkarni, who was representing the MoRTH, to consider having green number plates for electric and hybrid vehicles.
• These issues had cropped up when the court was hearing a petition on air pollution in NCR.
