DPCC Cracks Down: 108 Delhi Units Face Notices for Generator Emission Violations

• The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) issued show cause notices and sealing memos to 108 industrial and commercial establishments.
• These units were found operating non-compliant diesel generator (DG) sets, violating emission norms.
• The action followed an enforcement drive from January 29 to February 3, inspecting 300 establishments in Delhi.
• Defaulting units failed to upgrade DG sets with mandatory emission control systems or convert to cleaner fuel, violating CAQM protocols.
• Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa emphasized zero tolerance for such violations, citing public health and environmental safety concerns.
