Delhi Launches Rs 104 Crore Pilot to Test Pollution-Control Technologies at 40 Sites
The Delhi government has launched a Rs 104-crore pilot project inviting private firms and startups to test pollution-control technologies at 40 sites across the city. These locations, mainly in Central and South Delhi, include marketplaces, commercial hubs, transportation centers, tourist spots, hospitals, and educational institutions. The project aims to reduce particulate matter (PM 10 and PM 2.5) levels by 20% at each site over one year. Certified technologies like air purifiers and mist scrubbers will be installed and monitored under Delhi Pollution Control Committee supervision.
