What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Air quality deteriorated in the National Capital Region on November 1, 2026, with Noida recording an air quality index (AQI) of 330, entering the 'very poor' category for the first time this season. Delhi also saw its air quality slip to 'very poor'. Consequently, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) imposed GRAP-II restrictions.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The GRAP-II restrictions require governments to impose staggered office timings and a parking fee hike. These regulatory mandates could impose operational costs and disruptions on businesses across the region.
