This report examines the severe air pollution crisis in North India, contrasting Delhi’s struggles with Beijing’s successful ‘war on pollution’. The analysis delves into China’s ‘Blue Sky Policy’, which led to a significant drop in PM2.5 levels and an increase in life expectancy, featuring insights from Mohammad Rafiuddin, Programme Lead at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). According to Mohammad Rafiuddin, a key area to tackle is transport, noting, ‘If you look at Delhi’s own sources… transportation contributes to 50% of Delhi’s own sources’. The discussion highlights that unlike Beijing’s comprehensive, long-term strategy that included shifting to cleaner fuels, expanding public transport, and airshed-level planning, Delhi’s approach often appears seasonal and fragmented. The report questions whether India can adopt a similar sustained, multi-state approach to combat the annual air emergency that grips its northern plains.
