      GRAP Stage 3 entails a ban on non-essential construction work. Classes up to grade V are required to shift to hybrid mode under Stage 3. Parents and students have the option to choose online education wherever available.

      Under Stage 3, the use of BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel cars (4-wheelers) is restricted in Delhi and nearby NCR districts. Persons with disabilities are exempt.

      Stage 3 also bans non-essential diesel-operated medium goods vehicles with BS-IV or older standards in Delhi. The Stage 3 of GRAP was lifted on December 27 after a marked improvement in Delhi’s air quality following day-long rainfall in the national capital.

      Throughout 2024, Delhi recorded the highest number of ‘severe’ AQI days since 2022, with 17 days exceeding an AQI of 400. Additionally, 70 days were classified as ‘very poor’. Not a single ‘good’ air quality day was recorded in 2024, a first since 2018.

      Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) restrictions are measures implemented to address varying levels of air pollution in Delhi-NCR, India. These restrictions are tiered based on the Air Quality Index (AQI) and come into effect depending on the severity of pollution, from “Moderate” to “Severe+” or “Emergency” levels.

      Key GRAP Restrictions by Pollution Levels:

      1. Moderate to Poor (AQI 201-300):
        • Enforce pollution control norms in industries.
        • Prohibit garbage burning.
        • Increase mechanical road sweeping and water sprinkling to control dust.
      2. Very Poor (AQI 301-400):
        • Ban diesel generator sets, except for essential services.
        • Increase public transport availability to reduce private vehicle use.
        • Restrict certain industrial activities like brick kilns and stone crushers.
      3. Severe (AQI 401-450):
        • Ban construction and demolition activities (except essential projects).
        • Halt operations of industries using non-clean fuels.
        • Introduce the odd-even vehicle rationing scheme if required.
      4. Severe+ or Emergency (AQI 450+):
        • Ban the entry of trucks, except those carrying essential items.
        • Halt construction activities entirely.
        • Close schools and colleges.
        • Ban all non-essential activities contributing to pollution.

      Purpose of GRAP Restrictions

      • To mitigate pollution levels during critical periods.
      • To prevent health risks associated with poor air quality.
      • To create a systematic and enforceable plan for controlling emissions from various sources.

      GRAP restrictions are reviewed and revised based on real-time air quality monitoring and seasonal trends, particularly during winter months when pollution spikes.
