GRAP has been developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in consultation with state pollution control boards and other stakeholders and aims to address the problem of air pollution in the NCR through a combination of short-term and long-term measures. The goal of GRAP is to reduce the levels of air pollution in the NCR and improve the air quality for the residents of the region.
Under GRAP, different sets of measures are triggered based on the level of air pollution in the region. For example, when air pollution levels reach "severe" or "emergency" levels, measures such as the closure of schools and construction activities may be implemented. GRAP also includes measures to reduce the use of private vehicles, such as carpooling and the implementation of the odd-even rule (under which vehicles with odd-numbered plates are allowed to be driven on odd-numbered dates, and vice versa).
