On February 3rd, 2025, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) lifted the GRAP stage 3 restrictions in Delhi. This decision came as the AQI levels in Delhi NCR fell to 286, which is a 64-point decrease from the 350-point threshold established by the Supreme Court for implementing GRAP 3 measures. Under Stage 3 restrictions, driving BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel cars (4-wheelers) is restricted in Delhi and nearby NCR districts. Persons with disabilities are exempt from this rule. Stage 3 also bans non-essential diesel-operated medium goods vehicles with BS-IV or older standards in Delhi. Flouting these regulations may attract a fine of up to ₹20,000 from the Traffic Police. However, these bans have now been lifted and road users may drive these vehicles in the Delhi NCR region.
