Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh and Delhi Pradesh Taxi Union said that the new scheme will "snatch" the livelihood of the drivers of auto rickshaws and taxis.
Both the associations claimed to have received the support of Anna Hazare's organisation - 'Bhrashtachar Virodhi Jan Andolan Nyas' - for their strike.
Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh's general secretary Rajendra Soni said that auto unions can not compromise with the livelihood of drivers and will go on one-day strike on September 2.
According to the new scheme, vehicles having capacity of 600 cc onwards can register with the government. Until now, only those vehicles which had capacity of 750 cc or more were issued permits.
