The Telangana government’s Voluntary Vehicle Fleet Modernisation Policy (VVMP), aimed at phasing out ageing and polluting vehicles, has seen limited success in Hyderabad. Despite incentives such as tax concessions and waiver of penalties, only about 30 vehicles are scrapped monthly.
The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) has urged Hyderabad residents, especially those from other states, to update their driving licence addresses to avoid complications during renewals or verifications.
