The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has released a report indicating that the fragmented nature of industrial emission data in the National Capital Region (NCR) severely undermines pollution control efforts. The analysis reveals that emission monitoring data is often difficult to access, with only 58 out of 142 industrial facilities providing continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) data. The report highlights that many State Pollution Control Board offices failed to respond to requests for ambient air quality data, further complicating transparency. Additionally, the transition of industries from high-emission fuels to cleaner alternatives is rarely documented, which is critical for effective pollution control strategies. CSE's programme director, Nivit Kumar Yadav, noted that without strengthened regulatory bodies capable of compiling and analyzing data, existing monitoring networks are rendered ineffective. The report calls for better organization and accessibility of environmental data to enhance decision-making processes for both regulators and the public.
