The Supreme Court today accepted the suggestions of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to have hologram-based coloured stickers on vehicles which would indicate the nature of fuel being used.
The Ministry told a bench headed by Justice M B Lokur that hologram-based sticker of light-blue colour will be used for petrol and CNG run vehicles while similar sticker of orange colour would be placed on diesel vehicles.
The bench also comprising justices S Abdul Nazeer and Deepak Gupta asked the ministry to implement the use of coloured stickers on vehicles plying in Delhi-National Capital Region by September 30.
The apex court also asked Additional Solicitor General A N S Nadkarni, who was representing the ministry, to consider having green number plates for electric and hybrid vehicles.
