Overview
- The Delhi Legislative Assembly Secretariat forwarded the Public Accounts Committee report on vehicular pollution Monday and ordered an Action Taken Report by January 31, 2027, with progress stated as of December 31, 2026.
- Officials sent formal notices to the Delhi Transport Minister and the Secretary‑cum‑Commissioner of the Transport Department to file a comprehensive, time‑bound response.
- The PAC report draws on a Comptroller and Auditor General performance audit for the year ended March 31, 2021, which assessed how Delhi prevents and reduces vehicle emissions.
- Auditors cited weak monitoring and data, including too few air quality stations, incomplete tracking of key pollutants, and no reliable citywide emissions inventory.
- The committee flagged thin bus fleets, limited routes, and poor last‑mile links that push people to private vehicles, along with uneven emission checks, irregular PUC certificates, slow removal of end‑of‑life vehicles, and fragmented EV charging rollout.
