Those interested can now take driving test at private driving schools instead of Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) of the government

These centres will be authorised to conduct tests and issue certificates for license eligibility

With this, the government aims to reduce pollution by phasing out around 900,000 old government vehicles

The fine for speeding remains between Rs 1,000 and Rs 2,000. However, a minor caught driving will face a hefty fine of Rs 25,000

In such a case, the vehicle owner's registration will be cancelled and the minor will be ineligible for a license until the age of 25
