Delhi govt allows registration of BS VI diesel vehicles for G20 Summit

"The Registering Authorities are directed to verify the authenticity of requisitions regarding engagement of such vehicle(s) for the purpose of G-20 Summit submitted by the registered owner, before registering the vehicle," the order stated further.

The order for the same clearly stated that registration is allowed for the vehicles, subject to submission of a proof of requisition by appropriate authorities such as the Ministry of External Affairs or Embassies or Ministries or any other authority regarding the engagement of such vehicles for the purposes related to G-20 Summit.
