NCAP Tracker is a policy tracker with updates on National Clean Air Programme implementation and its effectiveness. It analyses the air quality data compiled from government-run monitoring stations and reviews the programme’s progress in achieving the 2024 national clean air targets.
What is NCAP ?
National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) is India’s flagship programme for better air quality in 122 cities, launched in 2019.
About NCAP Tracker
NCAP Tracker is a comprehensive review of India’s national clean air programme implementation and impact. Under the NCAP, the government aims to reduce India’s particulate matter (PM) air pollution by up to 30%, and NCAP Tracker, through various levels of data compilation and evaluation, enables tracking of its progress.
The tracker compiles and analyses information on air quality and budget allocation that is publicly available or provided by the government of India.

How to use the NCAP Tracker?
The tracker is designed to provide a holistic view of the implementation of the national clean air policy in India and give a status check on the 2024 clean air targets. NAMP and CAAQMS Trackers source the latest air quality data from continuous and manual monitoring stations across India and taps into comparative data analysis and identifying pollution hotspots.
The Budget Trackers furnish details on the NCAP fund allocation and spending at national and city level. It allows us to track the budget utilisation for each metric listed under the programme.
