Air pollution remains the greatest environmental threat to human health—with 99% of the world’s population breathing air that does not meet WHO’s recommended standards. In 2023, 14 of the world’s 20 most polluted cities were reported to be in India. To address this challenge, the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) aims for a reduction of 20–30% in PM10 concentrations by 2024-25. The target has been revised to achieve up to a 40% reduction in PM10 levels or to meet national standards by 2025–26.
