Delhi’s air quality has improved sharply, pushing the CAQM to revoke Stage-I GRAP restrictions across the NCR effective May 4. Daily AQI fell from 175 on May 3 to 88 on May 4, helped by rainfall and favourable weather. Key limits on coal and firewood in tandoors and diesel generator usage have eased, though dust-control and compliance remain closely monitored.
