The Centre has proposed extending the prescribed age limit for battery-operated, hydrogen fuel-based and natural gas-driven vehicles by five years, according to draft amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on Tuesday.
The proposed changes are part of draft rules published on August 10, with the government inviting objections and suggestions for 30 days. The rules will come into force only after their final publication in the Official Gazette.
