CPCB Orders Show-Cause Notices and Possible Closure for Non-Compliant Delhi-NCR Industries
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has directed pollution control authorities in Delhi-NCR and neighboring states to issue show-cause notices and potentially shut industrial units that have not installed or ordered air pollution control devices (APCDs). This enforcement targets 17 highly polluting industry categories to meet revised particulate matter emission norms set by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM). The move precedes winter pollution restrictions starting November 1, aiming to reduce industrial emissions contributing to Delhi-NCR's air pollution.
