🔆 REVISED GRAP 2026 — DELHI-NCR AIR POLLUTION

📍 What is GRAP?
🟢 Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) is an AQI-linked emergency response framework for Delhi-NCR.
🟢 Revised by CAQM at its 30th Full Commission meeting on 28 Sept 2026.
🟢 It uses observed + forecast AQI to invoke measures in advance.

📍 4 Stages
🟢 Stage I — Poor: AQI 201–300 → 25 actions
🟢 Stage II — Very Poor: AQI 301–400 → 8 actions
🟢 Stage III — Severe: AQI 401–450 → 10 actions
🟢 Stage IV — Severe+: AQI >450 → 5 actions
🟢 Measures are cumulative — each higher stage adds to lower-stage measures.
🟢 Total: 48 actions

📍 Major Changes
🟢 DG-set restrictions moved from Stage II → Stage I.
🟢 Entry restrictions on BS-IV & below inter-state buses moved to Stage I.
🟢 Restrictions on BS-III petrol & BS-IV diesel (or below) LMVs extended to Sonipat, besides Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar.
🟢 Exemption for older goods vehicles carrying essential commodities removed.
🟢 Stage III clarified restrictions on entry of diesel BS-IV & below LGVs/MGVs registered outside Delhi.
🟢 Minor works such as pothole repairs permitted under Stage III.
🟢 Citizens’ Charter expanded with stage-wise Do’s & Don’ts.

📍 Why Delhi-NCR Faces Winter Pollution
🟢 Local sources: vehicles, road/construction dust, industries, DG sets and waste burning.
🟢 Regional sources include paddy-stubble burning.
🟢 Low wind speed + temperature inversion + low mixing height trap pollutants near the ground.

📍 CAQM — Remember
🟢 Established under the CAQM in NCR and Adjoining Areas Act, 2021.
🟢 Covers NCR + adjoining areas of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
🟢 Its directions prevail over other authorities on air-quality matters within its jurisdiction.
🟢 Enforcement through Enforcement Task Force, flying squads, SPCBs and DPCC.

📍 Other Key Decisions
🟢 C&D dust monitoring extended beyond municipal limits to eligible projects; 500 sq m threshold unchanged.
🟢 Physical sports competitions in NCR during Nov–Dec advised to be rescheduled.
🟢 1,831 units received closure orders; 1,479 allowed to resume after compliance.
🟢 Plantation drive: 4.14 crore plantations reported against 4.61 crore target.

🔆 CRITICAL POINT
🟢 GRAP is an emergency-response mechanism, not a permanent solution.
🟢 Long-term improvement requires year-round emission reduction, airshed-level coordination and stronger enforcement.
🟢 Measures can also create livelihood and logistics costs, particularly for construction workers and transport operators.

🔆 MUST REMEMBER
CAQM Act 2021 | GRAP | Stage I: 201–300 | Stage II: 301–400 | Stage III: 401–450 | Stage IV: >450 | 48 actions | DG sets → Stage I

🔆 MAINS QUESTION
“GRAP can manage air-pollution emergencies in Delhi-NCR but cannot substitute for structural, airshed-level action.” Critically examine.

🔆 INDEX OF SERVICES PRODUCTION (ISP) — TRIAL SERIES

📍 What is ISP?
🟢 MoSPI has released the trial Index of Services Production (ISP) for July 2026.
🟢 It provides a monthly measure of real services output, similar to the IIP for industry.
🟢 Services account for more than half of India’s GVA, but lacked a direct monthly output indicator.

📍 ISP — Key Facts
🟢 Compiler: Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI)
🟢 Frequency: Monthly
🟢 Base Year:2024–25 = 100
🟢 Coverage:19 services sub-sectors
🟢 Latest release: July 2026, compared with July 2025
🟢 Status:Experimental/Trial series
🟢 Data available from July 2025 onwards.

📍 What Does It Measure?
🟢 Measures real output (volume) rather than prices.
🟢 Index >100 indicates output above the base-year level.
🟢 Provides sub-sector-wise information on which services are driving or dragging growth.

📍 Why is it Important?
🟢 Closes data gap: Provides a direct monthly indicator for the services sector.
🟢 Better GDP nowcasting: Helps improve quarterly GDP estimates.
🟢 Policy timing: Helps RBI and Government identify turning points earlier.
🟢 Sector diagnostics: Gives more granular information than aggregate GVA.
🟢 Supports monetary policy, fiscal planning and economic monitoring.

📍 ISP vs IIP
🟢 IIP: Mining + Manufacturing + Electricity → Industrial output.
🟢 ISP:19 services sub-sectors → Services output.
🟢 Both are monthly volume/output indicators.

📍 Limitations
🟢 Heterogeneity: Services have diverse activities and often lack clear physical output measures.
🟢 Informality: Formal/administrative data may under-represent unincorporated service enterprises.
🟢 Deflator risk: Errors in price deflators can affect real-output estimates.
🟢 Revisions: Railway, banking and insurance data are provisional and revised annually.
🟢 As a trial series, it should initially be read alongside existing indicators.

🔆 MUST REMEMBER
ISP → MoSPI → Monthly → 19 Services Sub-sectors → Base 2024–25 → Trial Series

🔆 MAINS QUESTION
The services sector accounts for more than half of India’s GVA, yet has lacked a robust high-frequency output indicator. Discuss the significance and limitations of the Index of Services Production.
