Delhi Government News: To reduce pollution in Delhi, CM Rekha Gupta has planned to ban the registration of petrol bike from August 2026. Old bikes can be converted into scrap or electric.

Is a big decision about petrol bike in Delhi-NCR?

New Delhi. In view of the increasing level of pollution in Delhi, CM Rekha Gupta has come into action. To reduce pollution, the Delhi government is working on several schemes, including preparations to ban petrol bikes. According to the government’s proposal, the registration of petrol bikes in Delhi will be stopped from August 2026. After this, only electric two-wheeler trains in Delhi will be given priority. At present, there is no such proposal in NCR’s Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noida. But if the registration of petrol bikes in Delhi is closed, then it will also affect cities like Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram. In such a situation, the question arises that what will happen to the old petrol bike? Will you get any amount on scrapping the old bike? Can these bikes be converted into electric?

On the implementation of the new policy of the Delhi government, the implementation of this policy in NCR is also considered to be almost fixed. ARTO Rahul Srivastava of Ghaziabad, Rahul Srivastava News-18, says in a conversation with Hindi, ‘So far no such notice has come from the government in Ghaziabad. But, there is an issue related to pollution, so anything can be possible in the coming days. However, the last 2000 trains were scrapped in the district. In such a situation, there will be an option to scrap the old bike. Under this, the bike can be sent to the scrap yard to recycle. Here parts of the bike will be recycle and the rest will be destroyed. You can scrap your bike in any scraping center. For this, you can also get information from your nearest dealer or service center.

How much money will be received for converting and selling?
The price of the scrap will depend on the bike model, its age and the condition of its parts. Usually old bikes can be sold between ₹ 5,000 to ₹ 20,000 for scrap. Some people may convert their old petrol bikes into electric bikes. For this you will need a conversion kit, which replaces the petrol engine with an electric motor. This option may be a bit expensive. The process of converting petrol bike into electric bikes is called electric conversion. In this process, the petrol engine is removed and an electric motor and battery system is replaced. However, it is important to take care of some things in it.

Battery car good or old bike?
For electric conversion, you will have to buy a good conversion kit and other expensive parts. The life of the battery is limited and after a few years it has to be changed. In addition, the power and range of the electric motor may be different compared to the petrol engine, which can affect the experience of riding.

If you have an old bike and you want to make it environmentally friendly then electric conversion can be a good option. But you have to keep in mind the cost of conversion, the capacity of the bike and the battery life. You can also sell your old bike. However, if the sale of petrol bikes is banned then its prices may fall. You can sell your bike to online platforms like OLX, Quikr or to your nearest bike dealer.
