Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In its strict anti-pollution order on December 16, 2015, the Supreme Court doubled the Environment Compensation Charge (Green Cess) for commercial trucks entering Delhi, which was an increase of 100% rather than 200% . The other directions (banning commercial vehicles registered before 2005, permitting only CNG-run taxis, and strict bans on open municipal waste burning) were correctly issued.
