According to a TERI study cited by DMRC, how many vehicles is the Delhi Metro expected to keep off the roads daily by 2031?
10.9 lakhThe Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) conducted a study projecting that by 2031, the Delhi Metro will prevent approximately 10.9 lakh vehicles from plying on Delhi’s roads each day. This marks a significant increase from 5.16 lakh in 2021 and 4.74 lakh in 2019. The reduction in vehicles directly contributes to lower fuel consumption, decreased air pollution, and reduced traffic congestion across the National Capital Region. These benefits are part of the broader environmental and efficiency gains attributed to the metro system’s expansion and high ridership. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has leveraged this data to highlight the system’s role in sustainable urban mobility.

The reading included PM2.5 levels at 323 µg/m³ and PM10 at 420 µg/m³—both far exceeding national safety standards. The grey haze and poor visibility underscored the gravity of the pollution crisis. Despite government claims of taking action, public distrust grew after the CPCB’s monitoring system went offline midday due to a 'technical glitch.' Residents and activists expressed alarm, especially as children and parents protested at India Gate demanding urgent intervention.

Which Delhi locality was identified as the most polluted based on a hyperlocal air quality analysis by Respirer Living Sciences?
JahangirpuriRespirer Living Sciences, a climate-tech startup, conducted a detailed month-long study using CPCB data and Google AirView+, mapping pollution in 3×3 km grids. Jahangirpuri emerged as Delhi’s most polluted area with average PM2.5 levels of 144.1 µg/m³—more than double the national safe limit of 60 µg/m³. The study highlighted industrial-residential mixing zones in northwest and east Delhi as chronic hotspots due to traffic, small-scale industries, and poor air dispersion. Other highly polluted areas included Rohini, Shahdara, and Wazirpur. In contrast, areas like Dwarka and Lodhi Road fared comparatively better.
