Classes In Hybrid Mode, Restrictions On Cars: What Changes Under GRAP-III
NDTV · NDTV News Desk ·
While GRAP-III is typically invoked when the air quality turns "severe" and the AQI hits 400, the pollution board invoked it early as a precautionary measure.
- The Commission for Air Quality Management invoked GRAP-III pollution curbs in Delhi two days before Diwali
- Delhi's AQI reached 382, prompting invocation of GRAP-III despite usual 400 AQI threshold
- GRAP-III bans non-essential construction, restricts BS-3 petrol and BS-4 diesel vehicles
