â ī¸ Important Legal & Compliance Information
GRAP restrictions apply ONLY when officially notified by CAQM or Delhi Government. AQI values alone do not trigger enforcement. This tool shows official notification status, not predictions.
This tool provides informational guidance based on official sources. It does not constitute legal advice. Always verify from official government channels before making compliance decisions.
When GRAP is officially enforced, violations can result in penalties under environmental laws. Emergency and essential services are typically exempted per government orders.
GRAP status can change with short notice during the season (October-January). Monitor official sources daily during this period. Additional restrictions may be imposed based on local conditions.
Regardless of enforcement status, high AQI levels pose health risks. Take personal precautions (masks, air purifiers, limiting outdoor exposure) when AQI is elevated.

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?
Official GRAP orders are available on CAQM website (caqm.nic.in) and Delhi Environment Department website (environment.delhi.gov.in). Always verify current restrictions from official government sources before making decisions. This tool links to official notification pages.
