The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) informed the Supreme Court that vehicular emissions are the leading cause of Delhi-NCR’s air pollution. It proposed 15 long-term measures, including phasing out old vehicles, boosting public transport, EV adoption, and stronger enforcement mechanisms.
The Supreme Court has ordered continuous hearings in the Delhi-NCR air pollution case and pulled up authorities for delays and lack of clarity on pollution sources. CJI Surya Kant directed CAQM to bring experts together and submit a consolidated report within two weeks.
