Under the direction of Supreme Court of India, the State Government of Delhi took the following measures to improve the quality of air:
- Switching over the entire fleet of public transport buses from diesel to CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) by the end of 2002.
- Phasing out of old vehicles.
- Use of unleaded petrol.
- Use of low sulphur petrol and diesel.
- Use of catalytic converters in vehicles.
- Application of Euro II norms for vehicles.
Because of above mentioned measures adopted by the Government the air quality of Delhi has improved with a substantial fall in SO2, CO, Nox level between 1997-2005.
