Over half of NCAP cities spent less than 50% clean air funds
A significant portion of funds allocated for India's National Clean Air Programme remains unspent in over half of the 130 non-attainment cities. Despite worsening air quality, many cities, including those in the NCR, have utilized less than 50% of their grants, raising concerns about administrative delays and accountability gaps. Experts warn this inefficiency jeopardizes tangible improvements in air quality.
