In a bold move to tackle rising air pollution, Islamabad’s city administration has launched a Free Emission Test in Islamabad for all vehicles, aiming to identify and reduce smoke-emitting vehicles on the roads. This follows earlier environmental actions, such as the closure of polluting brick kilns, and forms part of the capital’s broader mission to improve air quality and public health.
The free emission test service is available until August 31, 2025. Starting September 1, strict enforcement will begin. Vehicles emitting visible smoke will be fined heavily and could be banned from entering Islamabad altogether.
Vehicle owners can avail the free emission testing service at the following three locations:
Each location is equipped with internationally certified testing equipment, ensuring accurate and standardized results.
Citizens have welcomed the initiative, praising it as a proactive step for environmental health. However, there have been calls for more testing centers to improve accessibility and reduce waiting times.

Air pollution is one of the leading health hazards in Pakistan’s urban centers. This campaign represents a critical step toward reducing vehicular emissions—one of the major contributors to smog and respiratory issues.
Don’t wait until fines start rolling in. Visit any of the authorized testing centers in Islamabad before August 31 and get your vehicle emission tested for free. Let’s keep our city clean, green, and breathable.
