Delhi and surrounding NCR areas have moved into Stage 3 of the Ground Level Air Pollution (GRAP) scheme, tightening vehicle and industrial restrictions as air quality deteriorates.
Delhi and the National Capital Region have entered Stage 3 of the Ground Level Air Pollution (GRAP) framework, a move aimed at curbing pollution as the region’s air quality worsens.
Under Stage 3, authorities will impose stricter limits on vehicle usage, enforce tighter emission standards for industries, and restrict the use of diesel generators in the city.
The decision follows a series of days with PM2.5 levels exceeding safe thresholds, prompting the government to act swiftly to protect public health.
Officials have urged commuters to use public transport and to avoid non-essential travel until the situation improves.
The new restrictions will be monitored closely, with penalties for non‑compliance announced by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee.
