Overview
- Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched the systems at Indira Gandhi International Airport as a visible dust-control measure for passengers and staff.
- The installation was funded and implemented by GMR Group under the airport operator consortium, highlighting a public–private approach.
- Officials said the mist network at the airport is slated to scale up from 120 to 600 poles to strengthen dust suppression in and around the facility.
- Delhi has already deployed mist sprayers on major roads and at 143 elevated Metro stations and expanded real-time air-quality monitoring to 46 stations, which the government says is the largest such network in any Indian city.
- The launch was presented within a wider plan that includes electrifying the bus fleet by 2029, expanding Metro and EV infrastructure, deploying 1,000+ water sprinklers, and introducing AI-based dust monitoring, alongside same-day announcements on healthcare upgrades and a ₹700 crore Trans Yamuna development fund.
