Delhi's PWD faces criticism for using diesel generators for monsoon prep amid fuel austerity measures, highlighting the need for cleaner, resilient infrastructure.

Road RADAR, a new pollution monitoring program in Delhi, will deploy 13 surveyors to pinpoint dust pollution sources on the city's 18,000km road network.

For May, this was the lowest in three years, since May 31, 2023, when it was recorded at 85 (satisfactory), according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board

Study of seasonal pollutant trends key to tackling air pollution: Data

Delhi is heating up quickly, with average land surface temperatures rising by nearly 3°C in March over the past 11 years, according to a new satellite-based study.

Think tank uses satellite data to map ward-wise heat surge in Delhi over 10 years.

Petrol and ethanol vehicles lead numbers; EVs grow long-term but dip this year; only 150 public buses run against 1,500 e-bus target by 2026.

Delhi's push for clear air: No tax on EVs up to ₹30 lakh, only electric 2-wheelers from Apr 2028

राजधानी में 2025-26 में पिछले साल की तुलना में इलेक्ट्रिक व्हीकल के रजिस्ट्रेशन में 29% की बढ़ोतरी हुई। पेट्रोल व्हीकल के रजिस्ट्रेशन में भी बढ़ोतरी जारी रही।

EV growth rises sharply, but petrol vehicles still lead in Delhi.

Gupta held a review meeting and stressed that clean air and environmental protection are now central to the government’s policy framework.

The Supreme Court of India has asked the Centre to prepare a plan to shift coal-based power plants out of the National Capital Region. The court said this is needed to tackle serious air pollution in Delhi and nearby areas.

Delhi's new air quality monitoring stations show only a minor impact on pollution calculations, with average AQI changing by just one point so far.

The year has been marked by implementation in welfare and transport, greater coordination with the Centre, and ongoing challenges in pollution control.

Monday’s new stations take the network to 46 in total for the 1,483 sq km city – giving the Capital an air quality monitor for every 32 sq km.

Six areas, including South Extension Part-1, Majnu Ka Tila, and Mayur Vihar Phase-3, are largely congested on weekends and market days.

AQI jumped over 60 points in 24 hours, with pollution expected to ease as stronger surface winds set in later this week.

In January in Delhi, air pollution was very bad not just because of fine dust but also due to high levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and other toxic gases. A study of official air quality data found that NO₂ stayed above safe limits for over 25 days at most monitoring stations, and benzene, a cancer-linked gas, was above the World Health Organization’s recommended level on many days.

Experts said the Union Budget’s allocation for pollution control falls short at a time when several cities, especially in the Indo-Gangetic Plain, are struggling with ‘poor’ to ‘very poor’ air quality.
