Construction & Demolition Project activities, Road and Open Areas Dust, Biomass Burning,
Municipal Solid Waste burning, Fires in Landfills, air pollution from dispersed sources, etc. as

October, 2024 to January, 2025 and October, 2025 to January, 2026 are enclosed at Annexure I.
(c) & (d): As per the information received from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
(MoHF&W), National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) does not maintain information
regarding diseases and deaths attributed to ambient air pollution. Air Pollution is one of the many
factors affecting respiratory ailments and associated diseases.
(b) & (e): To address air pollution in Delhi-NCR, Government has established the Commission
for Air Quality Management (CAQM) under the Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR
and Adjoining Areas Act, 2021 for better coordination, research, identification and resolution of
problems of air pollution in Delhi- NCR and adjoining areas. CAQM has been provided powers
under the Act to take measures and issue directions to the various agencies in the National Capital
Region for protecting and improving air quality.So far, CAQM has issued 95 Statutory Directions and 17 Advisories to concerned stakeholders for
control of air pollution in Delhi-NCR inter-alia include prescribing stringent emission norms
various polluting activities, mandated thermal power plants located within 300 km of Delhi and
coal based Captive Thermal Power Plants in the Delhi-NCR for co-firing of biomass pellets (up to
5 to 10%), mandating use of paddy straw-based bio-mass pellets / briquettes in all brick kilns
located in the districts beyond NCR in Punjab and Haryana. A monitoring mechanism has been
put in place and these directions are rigorously monitored for implementation through periodic
progress reviews, issuing subsequent orders and directions from time to time.
The Government has regularly reviewed and monitored the actions taken to address air pollution
including stubble burning related issues in Delhi-NCR and adjoining areas. Some of the recent key
meetings are as below:

measures in expeditious manner along with other important measures such as preparation of
integrated waste collection and management plan, augmenting public transport & promoting E-
mobility, identification and repair of stretches with potholes, end-to-end pavement of roads, feeder
centers for Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste processing facility, steps to improve the
offtake of recycled products from C&D waste, monitoring of large construction sites, mechanized
road sweeping, decongestion of identified traffic congestion points, increasing the green cover,
installation of Online Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (OCEMS) and Air Pollution
Control Devices (APCD) in all air polluting industries in a time bound manner.

Various measures have also been taken by the Government to mitigate air pollution caused due to
stubble burning. The States of Punjab and Haryana have collectively recorded about 90%
reduction in fire incidences during paddy harvesting season in the year 2025 in comparison to the
same period in the year 2022. With coordinated actions, the average AQI of Delhi has shown
improvement at AQI of 201 in 2025 as against 225 in 2018.
