Over the 4,500 diesel vehicles that the ban affects, more than 600 are privately-owned cars, while nearly 4,000 are commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles comprise taxis, and light and heavy vehicles among others.

While the RTO is working on enforcing the ban, officials are of the opinion that citizens should have been educated about the matter before administering the ban. However, they believe the plan to stop re-registration of such vehicles will help put the ban in place since checking every vehicle is impractical.
