Delhi air pollution worsens; India tightens restrictions to combat air pollution

Elaha Mon Dec 2025 2 hours ago 6

According to this report, Delhi's air quality on Sunday was declared "very severe," and official indices exceeded 450 at several monitoring stations; a figure that has increased from 430 on Saturday and is the highest recorded level in this winter season. Based on data from the Central Pollution Control Board, values below 50 are considered "good."


The Commission for Air Quality Management, according to an announcement from India's Ministry of Environment, implemented "Stage IV"—the highest level of the "Graded Response Action Plan"—for Delhi and its peripheral areas on Saturday evening.


Under this plan, restrictions have been imposed that include a ban on the entry of old diesel trucks, a halt to construction activities including public projects, and the implementation of hybrid (in-person–online) education in schools.


This region, with a population of about 30 million people, typically faces the world's highest levels of air pollution during the winter season, placing its residents at severe risk of respiratory issues.


Officials have urged citizens, especially children and individuals with respiratory or cardiac conditions, to stay indoors and, if leaving home, to consider wearing masks.


According to the Commission for Air Quality Management, the severity of the air quality is due to high humidity and a change in wind direction; conditions that have disrupted the dispersion of pollutants and contributed to the formation of smog.

The Indian government, on Sunday, December 14, after the air quality in the country's capital, Delhi, was reported to be in its worst condition, intensified anti-pollution measures in Delhi and its surrounding areas.
