So our current car is 14 yr old and has done only 19,000 km, but as petrol cars expire after 15 years, I am looking for a new card, usage will be similar so need some suggestions for a card which could last next 15yrs with little problems and low usage.  

Requrements - 5 seater, 100-200km per month city use, 1,000km annual highway use, budget is under 15l, need something durable that doesn't break when we occasionally use it

You can pay some money and extend it by another 5 years. Go to your nearest RTO.

Take a NOC from Delhi Registration Authority and get it transferred to a place not falling in the NCR region. You would have to get a fitness check done too and once done, you'd be able to drive it for 5 more years BUT not in NCR Region.

At least you can sell this car.

Don't think of 15 years. Hopefully in the next 5-7 years, EVs will take over. There is a possibility that petrol/diesel cars might face a situation like 2Ws faced some years back due to pollution norms - suddenly getting obsolete & zero value in resale market!! Problem is EV cars are extremely expensive today!
For low usage & 5-7 years, you can think of a hatchback like Swift or Celerio.

Selling isnt an issue, i have a few people ready to take it off my hands and deal with extension themselves. Need suggestion for what to buy next, something with a long life with less maintainence required

Can't suggest it unless you mention your budget, highway/city use, no of seats required, quality of roads etc.

Brezza or Tata Nexon. But take a test drive before making a decision.

for your typical usage 15l budget is overkill, and petrol/diesel may become obsolete or very expensive in 5 or 6 yrs

Renault Kwid one option
