How to apply for colour-coded stickers online: An easy guide

The Delhi transport department has announced new rules regarding vehicle fuel stickers, which must be displayed on all vehicles. If a vehicle does not have these stickers, the owner will face penalties under traffic laws. A notice released by the department on Sunday mentioned that failing to display the stickers will lead to fines as stated in the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. These colour-coded stickers were introduced back in 2012-2013 and became mandatory for all vehicles by 2019. The stickers indicate the type of fuel the vehicle uses: orange for diesel, light blue for petrol and CNG, and grey for other types of fuels. They are important for identifying fuel types, especially when pollution levels are high and restrictions are in place. In 2020, the transport department launched a special campaign to enforce these rules, imposing a fine of Rs 5,000 on vehicles without the necessary high-security plates or fuel stickers.
