Ultimatum issued to industries in NCR for installing online pollution monitoring systems

New Delhi, 3 Dec (UNI) In a decisive step to curb emissions from some of the most polluting industries in the National Capital Region (NCR), the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Wednesday has issued ultimatum to 2,254 industrial units to install calibrated Online Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (OCEMS) and Air Pollution Control Devices (APCDs) by December 31, 2025.
The directive targets 17 identified categories of air-polluting industries, including metal, textiles, food and food processing, and other red- and medium-category units that significantly contribute to Delhi’s PM2.5 load.
According to CAQM officials, the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) have been instructed to supervise the implementation of these directions and take strict action against violators, even to the extent of issuing closure orders for non-compliant units. Officials said delinquent industries would initially be “handheld” to encourage voluntary and accelerated installation of OCEMS and APCDs, but enforcement will tighten after the deadline.
