Union Government Plans 600 Crore Subsidy Scheme for NCR Industrial Pollution Control
The Union government plans to launch a 600 crore scheme named Swacch Pawan Neel Gagan to subsidize 30-40% of costs for installing air pollution control devices in polluting industries across the National Capital Region. This initiative complements the Parivartan scheme, which offers similar subsidies for replacing older vehicles with cleaner models. The scheme has received Expenditure Finance Committee approval and awaits final clearances, aiming to reduce pollution ahead of the winter season with coordinated efforts from multiple ministries and local agencies.
