Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the National Green Tribunal's order under Section 14, Section 15, and Section 18(1) of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, directing the Container Corporation to phase out diesel vehicles at the Tughlakabad Inland Container Depot and transition to electric, hybrid, and CNG vehicles to mitigate air pollution in Delhi NCR. The Court emphasized the need for compliance within six months and the submission of an action plan, affirming the Tribunal's authority to regulate environmental concerns. The appeal was allowed in part, maintaining the NGT's directives while ensuring no coercive action was taken against the appellant during the proceedings.
