Delhi traffic police is stopping & impounding 10 yrs older diesel cars & 15 yrs old petrol cars based on order by supreme court, however the GOI scrap policy says if the cars pass the automated fitness test then diesel car can run upto 15 yrs max & petrol car can run upto 20 yrs max.
Delhi Transport department also mention Old vehicles that clear the automated fitness test will normally operate and be barred from impounding & the scrappage policy.
So where do we get this
automated fitness test done? I could not find any information on this.
Just posting relevant news links where media is reporting things with keeping few things ambiguous.

Ashish Kundra, Delhi transport commissioner, told TOI, "The law is laid down and is very clear, and the idea is to drive home the point that these cannot ply and to take action. Our teams would go out and do surveys. We have data from our database and have worked out a strategy for the first phase of action. We are serious about the environmental aspect and are aware that the most polluting of the lot are diesel vehicles. So in the first instance, we will take action on diesel vehicles that are more than 15 years old."

According to the new scrappage policy of the central government, fitness tests of vehicles will be required. These rules will not apply to new vehicles. These rules will apply only to old vehicles. In addition, a 15-year-old vehicle must have a fitness certificate. Fitness centers will be opened across the country for this purpose. The vehicle that passes the fitness test will have to be reregistered.
