A dedicated plan for anyone with a lung or heart condition, and for the elderly and pregnant women who are most at risk.

The exact rules on PUC certificates, the BS-VI entry ban, end-of-life vehicles, and what each GRAP stage bans on the road.

What You'll Learn

Six things that make this winter easier to handle

📊 Read the Air

What the AQI really measures, how PM2.5 differs from PM10, and how to read your local station instead of the city average.

🚦 GRAP Decoded

All four stages — Poor, Very Poor, Severe and Severe Plus — and exactly what each one changes for your car, your school and your office.

📅 The Fixed Calendar

The Delhi Winter Action Plan 2026-27 dates: the vehicle entry ban, the construction bans, 50% work-from-home and staggered office timings.

🌬️ Clean Air at Home

How to buy, size, run and maintain a HEPA air purifier without wasting money — and the ozone traps to avoid.

😷 Masks That Work

Why cloth and paper masks fail, and how to get a close-fitting N95 or N99 that actually filters PM2.5.

❤️ Protect the Vulnerable

Separate, practical plans for children, the elderly, pregnant women, asthma and COPD, heart patients and outdoor workers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying

Who is this playbook for?

Any family living in Delhi or the NCR through the winter smog season — parents, commuters, and anyone caring for children, elderly parents, or a family member with asthma, COPD or a heart condition. It is also useful for employers and schools planning for the season.

Is the information official and current?

Yes. Every rule, date and health recommendation is drawn from primary sources: the CAQM's revised GRAP (29 September 2026, Direction No. 104), the Delhi Winter Action Plan 2026-27, CPCB's AQI framework, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare / NCDC air pollution advisories, the WHO air quality guidelines, and the Supreme Court's directions on firecrackers. Facts were verified in October 2026.

Will this tell me which air purifier to buy?

It explains exactly how to choose one without wasting money — True HEPA H13/H14, how to size a unit using CADR for your room, why to avoid ozone-generating models, how to run and maintain it, and what to prioritise on any budget. It does not push a specific brand.

Does it cover the new rules for this winter?

Yes. It covers the revised four-stage GRAP, the fixed Delhi Winter Action Plan from 1 November 2026, the 2026 CAQM directions, the vehicle entry ban and PUCC rules, the 50% work-from-home plan, and the hybrid-school rules for Stages III and IV.
