The National Green Tribunal which examined the Delhi government's decision to implement the odd-even scheme from November 13 directs the Delhi govt to produce details of ambient air quality during earlier odd-even schemes. 


The NGT also rapped the Delhi govt for announcing the odd-even scheme, despite reports from the Central Pollution Control Board and the Delhi Pollution Control Committee that it was ineffective. 

The NGT directed the Delhi govt not to implement odd-even unless it establishes that the scheme is not counter-productive.

The Delhi  govt has asked the  NGT to exempt industries catering to
essential services from its ban order.


The AAP government had yesterday announced introduction of the odd-even scheme as part of a Graded Response Plan to tackle the alarming pollution situation in the national capital.


A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar directed the Delhi government to submit before it the details of the ambient air quality during the earlier implementation of the odd-even scheme.
