Motor vehicle rules changed in Haryana; check details

The Haryana Cabinet on Monday approved amendments to the state’s Motor Vehicles Rules, setting new age limits for tourist and other commercial vehicles.

The updated provisions, titled the Haryana Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Rules, 2025, were announced in an official statement.

Under the revised norms, tourist vehicles operating with all-India tourist permits in the National Capital Region can remain in service for up to 12 years if powered by petrol or CNG, while diesel tourist vehicles will have a maximum operational age of 10 years.


In non-NCR areas, tourist vehicles with these permits -- whether running on petrol, CNG or diesel -- can operate for 12 years.

For other permit categories, such as stage carriage, contract carriage, goods vehicles and school buses in the NCR, the maximum age limit is 15 years for vehicles operating on petrol, CNG, electric or other clean fuels.

Diesel vehicles under these permits in the NCR can operate only up to 10 years.

In non-NCR areas, vehicles under these permits -- regardless of the fuel type -- will be allowed to run for 15 years, the government said.
