Delhi-NCR Air Improves: GRAP-3 Restrictions Lifted, Key Bans Removed

• The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) lifted GRAP-3 restrictions in Delhi-NCR due to improved air quality.
• Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) significantly improved from 380 to 236 by Friday 4 PM.
• Measures under GRAP Phases 1 and 2 will remain in effect across the NCR.
• GRAP-3 previously restricted non-essential construction, BS-III petrol/BS-IV diesel vehicles, and certain industries.
• The restrictions aim to combat severe pollution and protect public health.

Why It Matters: Delhi-NCR's air quality improved, leading to the lifting of GRAP-3 restrictions, though lower-phase measures continue.
