Event Summary

The India===Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas has issued Statutory Direction No. 98, mandating a stricter particulate matter (PM) emission limit of 50 mg/Nm³ for identified industries across the Delhi-NCR.

The new norms will apply to 17 categories of highly polluting industries, red category (medium and large) air-polluting industries, food and food processing, textile industries with boilers/thermic fluid heaters, and metal industries with furnaces. The implementation will be phased, with large and medium industries complying by August 1, 2026, and other targeted industries by October 1, 2026.
