Diesel Generator Ban GRAP Implemented in Delhi NCR

Описание: Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) will be implemented from 1 Oct 2023. The ban on operating diesel generator (DG) sets with a capacity of 19 kW or above will kick in from October 1, Sunday, in Delhi-NCR unless these have been equipped with retrofitted emission control devices or dual fuel kits. The restriction, which will apply to all districts in the National Capital Region such as Noida, Greater Noida and Gurugram, was ordered by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on June 8 to give stakeholders time to make arrangements.The order also bars the use of large diesel gensets for backup in industrial, commercial and residential areas across the NCR from Sunday. Emission control devices (ECDs) are fitted at the exhaust of the machines to trap pollutants such as particulate matter and gases. The use of dual fuel mode kits allows a machine to operate on multiple fuels such as diesel and natural gas.
