Goal
The goal of NCAP is to achieve the specified annual average ambient air quality criteria in all parts of the country within a set period. The NCAP proposes a 20–30% decrease in PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations at the national level by 2024, using 2017 as the baseline year for comparison.
India has been going through a phase of accelerated industrial activities for the past three decades. The associated growth in terms of industrialization and urbanization has led to manifold increase in pollution issues more specifically air pollution issues. Air pollution is becoming a serious concern, predominantly for health of the people.
