Delhi/NCR Pollution After Diwali: How Anti-Smog Guns by Cloud Tech Pvt. Ltd. Can Help

Post-Diwali Pollution in Delhi/NCR: A Looming Crisis

Every year after Diwali, Delhi/NCR experiences a sharp rise in air pollution. The bursting of firecrackers, combined with low wind speeds and temperature inversion, pushes the Air Quality Index (AQI) into the ‘severe’ category. In 2025, several Delhi regions reported AQI readings above 400.

• Firecrackers release harmful pollutants like PM2.5 and PM10.
• Stagnant winter air traps pollutants near the surface.
• Existing pollution from vehicles and construction adds to the crisis.

Government Measures & DPCC Guidelines

The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has issued directions under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 mandating the use of Anti-Smog Guns at construction sites and large buildings.

During post-Diwali smog, these systems can be deployed near industrial areas, busy intersections, and construction sites to actively clean the air.

Policy Recommendations

1. Include Anti-Smog Gun deployment in the Winter Action Plan when AQI crosses 300.
2. Offer subsidies or incentives to builders for early installation.
3. Deploy mobile units in pollution hotspots during November–February.
