India is implementing various measures to reduce air pollution, including:
-
Restricting car travel: This involves measures like odd-even schemes in cities, promoting public transportation, and encouraging carpooling to reduce vehicular emissions.
-
Encouraging efficient stoves: The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana aims to provide clean cooking fuel (LPG) to households, reducing reliance on biomass fuels like wood and dung, which contribute to indoor and outdoor air pollution.
Other initiatives may include stringent emissions standards for industries, promoting the use of renewable energy, increasing green cover, and enhancing waste management practices.
