In a significant development, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) Sub-Committee on the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has decided to revoke Stage-I restrictions across the entire National Capital Region (NCR), effective immediately. This decision comes after Delhi recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 140 on June 15, 2025, categorizing it as ‘Moderate’, as per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The move follows a consistent improvement in Delhi’s air quality, attributed to favorable meteorological conditions and supportive forecasts from IMD and IITM, which suggest AQI levels will remain in the ‘Moderate’ range in the coming days. Despite this positive trend, CAQM has urged all concerned agencies and authorities across the NCR, including State Governments and the GNCTD, to strictly implement all environmental guidelines, dust control measures, and pollution control rules issued by MoEF&CC, CPCB, and respective Pollution Control Boards. The Sub-Committee affirmed that it will continue to monitor the air quality closely and review the situation regularly to ensure sustained improvement.
