GRAP-4 Curbs Imposed in Delhi-NCR: What's Allowed and What's Not
Stage 4 restrictions include hybrid schooling and truck entry bans except for clean fuel vehicles; Delhi's AQI reached 428, posing health risks, officials said.
- On Saturday evening, the Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas announced a ban on truck entry into Delhi except for essential vehicles under Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan.
- With an AQI reading of 428, authorities classed Delhi's air as 'severe' by 8 p.m., and the Central Pollution Control Board said this affects healthy people and seriously harms those with diseases.
- Schools and permitted vehicle types change as authorities implement Stage 4 measures; classes for most students shift to hybrid in Delhi and neighbouring districts, with LNG, CNG, Electric, and BS‑VI diesel trucks allowed.
- Implementation depends on state orders, which must be issued for the curbs to take effect, and state governments of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan may consider college closures, non-emergency commercial closures and odd-even vehicle rationing.
- Published at 09:04 pm IST on January 17, 2026, the advisory noted thick smog over the AIIMS area as existing GRAP stages 1–3 restrictions continue.
