Frequently Asked Questions

What is GRAP?

GRAP (Graded Response Action Plan) is an emergency air pollution control plan for Delhi-NCR enforced by government orders. Different stages of restrictions are officially notified by CAQM (Commission for Air Quality Management) to control pollution sources and protect public health.

How is GRAP enforced?

GRAP is enforced ONLY through official government notifications from CAQM and Delhi Government. While AQI levels guide decisions, restrictions apply only when officially notified. This tool shows the current enforcement status based on latest official orders, not just AQI values.

When does GRAP activate?

GRAP typically operates from October to January (winter months). Stages are activated by official government orders when air quality deteriorates. The government considers AQI trends, forecasts, and ground conditions before issuing enforcement orders.

What vehicles are banned under GRAP?

Vehicle restrictions depend on the officially enforced stage. Stage II bans BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel. Stage III bans more categories. Stage IV may implement odd-even or ban non-essential vehicles. CNG, electric, and BS-VI vehicles are generally exempted. Check current official enforcement status above.

Where can I find official GRAP documents?
