Government Report Finds Elevated Uranium in Delhi Groundwater; NGT Seeks Action
A 2025 Central Ground Water Board report found uranium levels above the permissible limit in 13 to 15.66 percent of groundwater samples across Delhi, ranking the capital third nationally after Punjab and Haryana. The contamination spans six districts and is attributed to natural geological factors and groundwater depletion. The National Green Tribunal has responded by including the Delhi government and Pollution Control Committee in an ongoing case, scheduling further hearings to address the issue and its implications for drinking water safety.
