Read moreA study by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) highlighted that cycling offers significant benefits, including zero dependence on fuel, zero pollution and improved health. It also provides an affordable mobility option for people seeking access to livelihoods, education and other essential services.
Read moreThere have been efforts to identify pollution sources by institutions like Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), IIT Kanpur, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and others in the last two decades. Institutions like ARAI, Pune, IIT Deļhi, TERI and IITM have been tasked to develop a new EI and SA for Delhi- NCR with 2026 as base year.
Read MoreDr Vibha Dhawan, Director General, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) said, currently air quality monitoring in India is largely limited to urban centres, providing only a partial understanding of pollution dynamics. Expanding monitoring networks across both urban and rural areas would enable identification of pollution sources beyond city boundaries and capture the influence of regional and transboundary emissions.

Read MoreA consortium of four institutes led by ARAI-Pune, with partners from IIT-Delhi, TERI and IITM-Pune, will develop a new emission inventory and source apportionment study with high-resolution emission mapping (500 m x 500 m grid) across major polluting sectors of Delhi-NCR, with 2026 as the base year.
Read MoreCPCB has directed the consortium to begin preparatory activities to commence work on studies from January 2026. The Rs 18.9 crore project was awarded to a consortium comprising ARAI, the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology-Pune, and the non-profit The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), as per official documents.
Read moreEmission inventory studies for Delhi conducted by IIT-Kanpur in 2015, TERI-ARAI in 2018 and SAFAR in 2018 have estimated the transport sector's contribution to PM2.5 pollution at 20%, 39% and 41%, respectively. The expert committee comprises representatives from Niti Aayog, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, Centre for Science and Environment, International Council on Clean Transportation, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and CAQM.
