Delhi govt reports progress on air quality, claims 201 'good days'

Good days are a cumulative of days where the AQI has been recorded as good, satisfactory and moderate.

The report said "specific mitigation action" was being taken at the 13 pollution hotspots in Delhi.

On October 24, the NGT while hearing the matter regarding the deteriorating air quality in the national capital, necessitating the invoking of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), directed the Delhi government to file its report.

"With consistent efforts from stakeholder departments, good days have increased from 157 in 2018 to 206 in 2023 from January to October. This year till October 29, there have been 201 good days," said the report submitted on Monday.
