The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) to file comprehensive affidavits regarding the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) aimed at reducing air pollution in Pune, Maharashtra, India. This order, issued on April 2, requires the authorities to provide detailed documentation on GRAP implementation and guidelines for mitigating pollution, especially from construction activities. The NGT noted that the PMC's previous affidavit lacked sufficient detail and called for additional information on pollution sources, including data from source apportionment studies. The tribunal also acknowledged the MPCB's submission, which included Air Quality Index (AQI) data for Pune from January to April 2026, and requested further details on the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) implementation. Pune Municipal Corporation Commissioner Naval Kishor Ram stated that the PMC is working on various initiatives to tackle air pollution, including a study with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology to assess pollution levels and engage with the construction sector to reduce emissions. The next hearing on this matter is set for July 15.
