Stage IV of GRAP revoked in NCR as air quality improves

In view of the improvement in air quality, the Commission for Air Quality Management has revoked stage four of the Graded Response Action Plan, GRAP, across the National Capital Region with immediate effect. The decision has been taken by the Sub-Committee on GRAP after reviewing the situation in its meeting held yesterday.

The Committee said that the AQI of Delhi is continuously improving and was



recorded as 302 yesterday, which is about 98 AQI points below the benchmark as directed by the Supreme Court for invoking Stage IV. It added, however, that all actions under Stages III, II and I of the revised GRAP will remain invoked and be implemented, monitored and reviewed by all agencies concerned in the entire NCR to ensure that the AQI levels do not slip further.
