Delhi-NCR Industries Given Two-Month Extension to Meet New Emission Norms
Over 2,100 industrial units in Delhi-NCR, about 91%, have not met new particulate matter emission norms requiring pollution control devices by the original August 1 deadline. The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) extended the compliance deadline to October 1, citing challenges like supply delays and cost increases. The revised standards, based on technical recommendations, aim to reduce industrial emissions and improve air quality. Authorities continue monitoring compliance and coordinating with pollution control boards.
