The government now intends to transfer accountability to private car dealerships throughout the city, with the free Emission Testing System (ETS) program in Lahore scheduled to expire on June 30.
After the free service ends, ETS-related services will be contracted out to dealerships of all auto and vehicle manufacturing enterprises in Lahore, according to Environment Protection and Climate Change Department Secretary Raja Jahangir Anwar.
These dealerships will have trained personnel to do emission testing and ETS equipment. Owners of vehicles must pay Rs. 400 for each test at these locations.

The agency thinks this approach will greatly boost the number of automobiles that are evaluated. According to Raja Jahangir Anwar, offering the service through approved dealerships would increase car owners’ comfort and efficiency, particularly since demand for the service keeps rising.
With 20 sites spread around Lahore, the ETS program was first introduced as a free service. Three squads are normally housed at each facility; nevertheless, lengthy lines and complaints of delays have brought attention to the system’s shortcomings.
After enough cars have been tested under the new approach, the government intends to expedite the emission testing procedure and proceed with wider enforcement.
