With improved air quality in Delhi, panel lifts Stage IV measures under GRAP on 2022-11-06. 

With Delhi's air quality index (AQI) improving to ‘very poor’ category, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region (NCR) lifted the stage IV measures under GRAP. GRAP (Graded Response Action Plan) is an emergency plan to prevent further deterioration of air quality. 

The decision to remove the ban on plying of non-BS VI diesel-run light motor vehicles in Delhi-NCR and entry of trucks into the capital, imposed under the final stage of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), was taken at a review meeting on Sunday. The curbs had been put in place three days ago in the wake of the pollution levels reaching severe category in the region. 

The panel cited forecasts that said air quality will remain in the same category for the next few days. All measures until only Stage III will apply across NCR from now.
