PUC centres in Delhi to be shut from July 15: Petrol pump owners

Delhi's Petrol Dealers Association plans to shut PUC centres from July 15 due to insufficient rate hikes of Rs 20-40 after 13 years, according to Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot. Despite a 70% hike in 2011, unaffordable rents and operational costs burden centres. PUC norms changes for BS-IV vehicles reduce customer expenses. Acknowledging the legitimacy of demands, the strike resumes.
