The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on November 06, 2026, has invoked Stage-III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR with immediate effect from November 6, 2026, in view of deteriorating air quality. Delhi recorded an AQI of 382 (Very Poor category) on November 6, 2026, and forecasts by IMD/IITM indicated a possibility of the AQI entering the Severe category.
Accordingly, all actions prescribed under Stage-III of the revised GRAP schedule dated September 29, 2026, shall be implemented across Delhi-NCR, in addition to the Stage-I and Stage-II measures already in force. All concerned agencies have been directed to strictly implement, monitor and intensify the prescribed pollution-control measures, while citizens are required to comply with the GRAP citizen charter.
The CAQM Sub-Committee will continuously monitor the air quality situation and review the implementation of GRAP measures for further action based on AQI levels and weather forecasts.
