CAQM Lifts GRAP-3 Curbs in Delhi-NCR as Air Quality Improves

• The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has revoked Stage III curbs under GRAP in Delhi-NCR.
• Decision follows a significant improvement in air quality across the region.
• Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) sharply improved from 380 to 236 by Friday 4 pm.
• Actions under GRAP Stages I and II will remain in force to prevent air quality deterioration.
• Earlier, on December 24, CAQM had also revoked Stage IV of GRAP due to sustained improvement.

Why It Matters: Delhi-NCR sees GRAP-3 curbs lifted due to improved air quality, but lower stages remain in effect.
