Government's latest move will help to reduce the rush at gas stations during the day.
Starting tomorrow at midnight, the eco-friendly CNG will be sold at a discount during off-peak hours in and around Delhi, said Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan today.
The idea is to reduce the rush at gas stations during the day, the minister said.
From midnight till 5 am everyday, a discount of Rs 1.50 per kg will be offered at nearly 150 Indraprastha Gas Limited pumps. CNG currently sells at Rs 37.20 per kg in the national capital.
In an attempt to curb pollution, new traffic rules will apply starting tomorrow in the world's most polluted capital.
Private cars will be banned from the roads on alternate days from January 1 as part of a slew of measures aimed at reducing smog levels.
The Delhi government announced the scheme after a court ordered authorities to tackle pollution levels more than 10 times the World Health Organization's safe limits. It will run for an initial two-week trial period.
The new restrictions, in place from 8am to 8pm everyday except Sunday, will allow cars with odd-numbered licence plates to drive on odd-numbered dates and those with even-numbered plates on the others.
