23 Years, No Change: Delhi's Air Quality Shows No Significant Improvement, Data Reveals

A new analysis of data from 2001 to 2024 reveals that Delhi's air quality has shown no significant long-term improvement, despite numerous government plans and initiatives over 23 years.

While there have been slight year-to-year variations, the overall trend remains stagnant at a "poor" average. The report identifies vehicular emissions, industrial pollution, and dust as the primary, persistent contributors. It notes that short-term measures like the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) are activated only during severe episodes and fail to address the root causes of pollution. The article concludes that without decisive, continuous action on key sources, Delhi's toxic air will remain a permanent public health crisis.
