A congestion charge on cars that crowd the Capital is one of the options the government is considering to clean the air in the city ahead of the Commonwealth Games.
Delhi has converted commercial vehicles to CNG, introduced Euro IV petrol and diesel this April and introduced new buses, but air pollution is still above permissible limits, with respirable suspended air particles (smaller than 2.5 microns) continuing to increase in the past year.
