New Delhi: With an aim to curb the alarming rise in pollution levels, diesel vehicles will stop plying on roads in Noida from March 01 next year.

Moreover, no new registration diesel-run sports utility vehicles (SUVs) will be allowed in Noida. Further details on this are awaited.

It may be recalled that last week, the Supreme Court ordered that diesel-run SUVs and high-end private cars with engine capacity of 2000 CC and above will not be registered in Delhi and National Capital Region till March 31, 2016.

The court, which also directed 100 per cent hike of the Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) being levied on light and heavy commercial vehicles entering Delhi, said that its directions were aimed at "mitigating hardship" of residents of Delhi "that has earned to it the dubious reputation of being the most polluted city in the world."

Now, light duty vehicles, carrying goods, will have to pay Rs 1400, instead of 700 and three-axle vehicles Rs 2,600, instead of 1,300 as ECC for entering Delhi.
