95 INDIAN CITIES SHOW IMPROVEMENT IN AIR QUALITY
Among these, 21 cities achieved a more than 40 per cent reduction in PM10 pollution compared to the 2017-18 levels.
The NCAP, launched in 2019, set an ambitious goal of reducing particulate pollution by 20-30 per cent by 2024, using 2017 as the base year. In 2022, this target was revised to a 40 per cent reduction by 2026, using 2019-20 as the base year. While the programme initially aimed to tackle both PM2.5 and PM10, only PM10 levels are being used to assess the performance of cities.
Only 18 cities currently meet the NAAQS for PM10, set at 60 micrograms per cubic metre.
14 cities, including Ahmedabad, Ghaziabad, and Kolkata, reduced PM10 by 30-40%, while cities like Surat and Bengaluru reduced PM10 by 20-30%.
Delhi recorded a 10-20% reduction in PM10 pollution along with 20 other cities.
Swachh Vayu Survekshan 2024 recognized Surat, Jabalpur, and Agra as the top performers among major cities for air quality improvement
