Due to Delhi’s severe air quality, GRAP Stage III restrictions will start November 15. Bans on non-essential construction, BS-III petrol, and BS-IV diesel vehicles will be in effect. Emergency-only diesel generator use, dust suppression, and public transport increases are also part of the plan to curb pollution.
With Delhi’s air quality index (AQI) reaching over 400, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has announced that Stage III of the Graded Action Response Plan (GRAP) will be implemented from November 15 at 8 am. Under GRAP III, non-essential construction and demolition work will be halted, and BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles will be banned in Delhi and surrounding areas such as Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Noida. Diesel generator sets will be allowed only for emergencies, while additional measures like intensified mechanised road sweeping and increased public transport will also be introduced. GRAP is activated in phases to address escalating pollution levels, from ‘Poor’ (AQI 201-300) to ‘Severe Plus’ (above 450).
