Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently made two appeals for work-from-home policies, aiming to address the severe pollution crisis in Delhi-NCR. Historical data from the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020-2021 indicates that air quality improved dramatically during this period, with PM2.5 levels dropping by 50-60% due to reduced vehicular traffic and industrial activity. However, since 2023, Delhi's air quality has deteriorated, with PM2.5 concentrations rising above 100 μg/m3, far exceeding both national and global health standards. Experts attribute this resurgence in pollution to increased traffic, construction, and industrial emissions. A large-scale work-from-home policy could potentially reduce emissions from vehicles, which account for 17-28% of Delhi's PM2.5 pollution. Evidence suggests that even temporary reductions in commuting can lead to significant decreases in nitrogen dioxide and particulate emissions. While work-from-home alone won't resolve the pollution crisis, it could alleviate peak-hour congestion and contribute to cleaner air in the region.
