OP Pal/Rohtak. Cities in Haryana are overloaded with motor vehicles. Due to the increasing number of vehicles, not only are the markets congested, but the condition of the mohallas and roads is deplorable. In the blind race of modernity, the motor vehicle has become a status symbol that is not controlled, then the problems of air pollution will increase from the indiscriminate driving of vehicles on the streets, on the other hand, if there are many vehicles in a house, then this must Parking system to be repaired. Modeled on government office complexes, it might be possible to solve the problems faced by ordinary people in the coming period, such as creating multiple parking spaces in the markets and preventing excessive purchases of vehicles.
The condition of the state has reached such proportions that there are 1.2 million vehicles out of the estimated population of 2.9 million, meaning that every second person has their own vehicle, with approximately 10.5 million commercial vehicles registered . Whereas a decade ago, ten years ago, the number of vehicles registered in the state for a population of 2.3 million was almost half that at 59.79 lakhs. In terms of vehicle registration, Gurugram District tops the state with a maximum of 14.20 lakh vehicles registered, with Gurugram also leading commercial vehicles at 2.67 lakh. Due to the population growth in the country, the problem of air pollution is increasing with increasing congestion on the roads from the increasing number of vehicles, while parking problems in cities and settlements are also becoming enormous. The biggest problem is that commercial vehicles are also manufactured without a permit. Although the administration, police and RTA authorities claim to tighten the bolts on such vehicles, vehicles driving on such roads also encourage accidents. In terms of environmental protection, the state government is promoting electric vehicles and has also issued directives to remove 10-year-old diesel and 15-year-old petrol vehicles from the roads as part of new government policy. So far, however, there are about 26,000 electric vehicles on the state’s roads, mostly three-wheelers and two-wheelers. It can also be observed that three-wheel electric vehicles in particular are on the road with passengers without a permit. There is no such county in the state where thousands of vehicle owners are not on the tax evader list. In the list of such defaulting vehicles statewide, a maximum of 189,802 vehicles in Gurugram, followed by 105,660 vehicles in Faridabad defrauded the government. The lowest 2413 vehicle tax evaders are in Charkhi Dadri district.
Income of 336.35 billion euros flowed into the state coffers
Although the number of vehicles on the state’s roads is increasing, 336 billion 35 crore 13 lakh 47 thousand was collected in the form of registration, permit and other road taxes on new vehicles in the last five years to Sunday 14 May 23 737 were paid as income. In the last year 2022, maximum revenue of 3240.83 Crore Rupees was achieved. In 2021, on the other hand, this turnover was more than 2482.84 crores. In 2019, revenue of Rs.2,342.34 crore was generated from the purchase of new vehicles, however, the government also suffered a 20.38 percent revenue loss in 2020 during Covid. In the first four and a half months of the current year to May 14, the government has received revenue of 1379.58 crore rupees from the registration of 2.99 lakh new vehicles including 38,571 commercial vehicle licences.
Danger with 15 year old vehicles
The government has issued directives to remove polluting old and comparatively less safe vehicles from the roads in Haryana. The Haryana Traffic Commissioner has already ordered 10-year-old diesel and 15-year-old gasoline vehicles to be de-registered under NCR’s NGT instructions. Therefore, the risk of de-registration of such old vehicles is high in the 14 districts of Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Jind, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Gurugram, Palwal, Faridabad, Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Mewat, Mahendragarh and Rewari fall under the NCR. The state government has already banned diesel vehicles older than 10 years in the National Capital Region as part of the central government’s scrapping policy. Under this new rule, there will be no renewal of registrations of 15-year-old vehicles from government companies, local authorities and state-controlled institutions in the state. The number of vehicles older than 15 years is more than 18 lakh in the state.
There was a shortage during the Covid period
In 2019, when about nine lakh vehicles were purchased in the state, there was a 28.96 percent drop in vehicle purchases during the Covid period and about six lakh vehicles were registered. This compares to four percent of new vehicles hitting the state’s roads in 2021 and 7.42 lakh in 2022, up 17.01 percent. In the current year 2023, 2.99 lakh vehicles were registered until May 14th.
more than a crore vehicles

What is special is that Haryana ranks first among all other states and union territories in the country in terms of vehicle centralization. The facilities are expanding. The total number of vehicles registered in the state is 1,19,97,808 compared to 59,78,110 as of December 31, 2012.
