NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — # **NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] —** Delhi NCR authorities have imposed a construction activity ban and restricted non-Delhi-registered vehicles below BS-VI standards effective November 1, as part of intensified air quality management measures ahead of the winter pollution season. The order, issued under the Central Pollution Control Commission (CAQM), also mandates 50% work-from-home for Delhi government and private offices, doubles parking charges, and enforcement is expected to be lenient until Deepavali.
The order follows repeated CAQM directives in recent weeks tightening construction activity restrictions during high-pollution episodes. Earlier advisories had already restricted construction in notified areas and imposed odd-even vehicle rationing. The current ban extends to all construction sites in Delhi NCR, including residential and commercial projects, with exceptions likely for essential infrastructure.
