Delhi has achieved its best air quality in seven years with an AQI of 291, significantly improved from 381 in 2024 and 415 in 2023. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa credits this improvement to year-round pollution control efforts, including intensified monitoring of construction sites, vehicular emissions, and waste burning. While challenges from crop burning and increasing vehicles remain, the coordinated approach is delivering measurable results for Delhi's air quality.
