Delhi fails to meet PM10 emission target: Report
Hindustan Times
|January 10, 2025
Delhi has failed to meet its initial National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) target of reducing PM10 (particulate matter having a diameter of 10 microns or less) by 20-30% by 2024 from the baseline of 2017, according to an analysis released on Thursday.
The study, undertaken by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), analysed the past six years of NCAP-set for 131 non-attainment cities to bring down pollution levels across the country and found Delhi was only able to bring down PM10 levels by 12%.
However, neighbouring NCR cities of Ghaziabad and Faridabad recorded much steeper improvements, meeting the initial target set by the Centre. Ghaziabad recorded a reduction in PM10 concentration by 39% and Faridabad by around 25%, data showed.
