In April 2024, Delhi achieved its highest number of 'Good to Moderate' air quality days in the past six years, except for 2020.
April 2024 also marked the second-lowest average Air Quality Index (AQI) since 2018.
The daily average AQI for April 2024 was 182, demonstrating a significant improvement over the previous year.
Only 7 days in April 2024 had an AQI exceeding 200, showcasing effective control over 'Poor to Severe' air quality days.
This improvement is attributed to favorable weather conditions and collaborative efforts by the NCR Commission for Air Quality Management and stakeholders.
Additionally, April 2024 witnessed a notable reduction in daily average PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations compared to previous years.
The CAQM continues to work closely with stakeholders to combat air pollution and enhance the overall air quality in the NCR.
