## Vehicular Emission

-  Leapfrogging from BS-IV to BS-VI fuel standards since 1st April, 2018 in NCT of Delhi and from 1st April, 2020 for the rest of the country.
-  Introduction of BS VI compliant vehicles across the country since April, 2020.
-  Development of Expressways and Highways to reduce fuel consumption and pollution.
-  Eastern Peripheral Expressway & Western Peripheral Expressway have been operationalized to divert non destined traffic from Delhi.
-  Environment  Protection  Charges  (EPC)  have  been  imposed  on  diesel vehicles with engine capacity of 2000cc and above in Delhi NCR.
-  Introduction  of  cleaner/alternate  fuels  like  CNG,  LPG,  ethanol  blending  in petrol.
-  Promotion of public transport and improvements in roads and building of more bridges to ease congestion on roads.

## Industrial Emission

-  Ban on use of pet coke and furnace oil in NCR, use of pet coke in processes in cement plants, lime kilns and calcium carbide manufacturing units.
-  Stringent emission norms for Coal based Thermal Power Plants (TPPs).
-  Shifting of industrial units to PNG/cleaner fuel  in Delhi
-  Installation of online continuous emission monitoring devices in highly polluting industries.
-  Shifting  of  brick  kilns  in  Delhi-NCR  to  zigzag  technology  for  reduction  of pollution

## Air Pollution due to Dust and Burning of Waste

-  Notifications  of  6  waste  management  rules  covering  solid  waste,  plastic waste, e-waste, bio-medical waste, C&D waste and hazardous waste.
-  Setting up infrastructure such as waste processing plants.
-  Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for plastic and e-waste management.
-  Ban on burning of biomass/garbage.

## Monitoring of Ambient Air Quality

-  Expansion of air quality monitoring network of manual as well as continuous monitoring  stations  under  programmes  such  as  National  Air  Monitoring Programme (NAMP).
-  Initiation of pilot projects to assess alternate ambient monitoring technologies such as low-cost sensors and satellite-based monitoring.

## Monitoring the Implementation of NCAP

-  Government  has  launched  NCAP  as  a  national  level  as  a  national-level strategy outlining the actions for reducing the levels of air pollution at city and regional scales in India. City specific air action plans have been rolled out for implementation in 132 NACs and MPCs
-  Rs.  472.06  crore  have  been  sanctioned  to  82  non-attainment  cities  under NCAP to  provide  support  for  critical  gap  funding.  The  funds  are  disbursed based  upon  the  performance  of  the  cities  as  per  the  NCAP  operational guidelines.
-  Further,  15th  Finance  Commission (XV-FC) has provided a special grant  of Rs 4,400 crore to 42 million plus cities/urban agglomerations which covers 50 Non-Attainment Cities for FY 2020-21.
-  The performance based incentive grant of Rs.12,139 crore for FY 2020-21 to 2025-26 have been allocated for improvement in air quality of 42 million plus cities/urban agglomerations under Million-Plus Cities Challenge Fund (MPCCF). MoEF&CC is the nodal agency for monitoring ambient air quality and recommending DoE for disbursing grants to 42 Million -plus cities.
-  For FY 2021-22 for 42 MPCs, Rs 2025 Cr have been released by DoE to 42 cities/UAs on the basis of their performance assessment made by MoEF&CC.
-  City  specific  action  plans  are  regularly  monitored  by  committees  at  Central; Apex, Steering, Monitoring and implementation committee; at State; Steering, implementation  committee  and  at  City  level  Implementation  and  Monitoring Committee.
-  Implementation  of  Air  Quality  Early  Warning  System  for  Delhi,  Kanpur  and Lucknow. The system provides alerts for taking timely actions.
-  Public  Complaints  regarding  air  pollution  issues  in  Delhi  NCR  are  taken through 'Sameer  App',  'Emails'  (Aircomplaints.cpcb@gov.in)  and 'Social Media Networks' (Facebook and Twitter).
-  PRANA a portal for monitoring implementation of NCAP has been launched.
