This special report examines Delhi’s recurring winter air pollution crisis, as the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) surged into the ‘severe’ category in early November 2025. A key finding from a 2024 Centre for Science and Environment analysis reveals the primary cause: ‘If only the local sources of Delhi are considered… then the average transport sector contribution to PM2.5 is more than half of the pollution (51.5 per cent) from only the local sources’. The report delves into the other major contributors, including residential emissions, industry, and construction, which collectively turn the capital’s air toxic. With health impacts mounting, as highlighted by a 2024 Lancet study linking pollution to around 12,000 premature deaths in Delhi annually, the segment questions why emergency measures have failed to deliver a long-term solution.
