Description Delhi National Capital Region (Delhi NCR) is facing serious challenges linked to worrying levels of
air pollution (mainly NO2, PM10 and PM2.5). The CADTIME prject (Clean Air in Delhi through
Implementation, Mitigation and Engagement) aims to understand what is required to deliver significant
reductions in levels of air pollution. This paper presents the results of the first stage of the project: it
firstly contextualises the challenges of air quality management in Delhi within the broader evolution of
environmental policies and governance in India, with particular consideration to the tensions between
environmental protection and the country’s development objectives. Secondly, it sets out how
CADTIME will combine multiple source qualitative and quantitative data to develop an air quality
action plan and an implementation strategy. In particular, through two workshops with local and
national experts and stakeholders, and two rounds of focus groups with citizens of Delhi we will
contrast stakeholders’ priorities and preferences for existing and potential solutions to air pollution with
citizens’ lived experiences, thus assessing the political/technical feasibility and public acceptability of
current and proposed measures. Furthermore, we will complement the primary qualitative data with a
critical review examining the successes and failures of UK and European policies to draw lessons that
can be relevant for Delhi and to avoid ineffective policies and achieve cost-effective solutions for the
city in the shortest possible time.
