Under the National Clean Air Programme 2019 (NCAP), the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) plans to launch the 'Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan' programme, which will rank cities based on their actions to improve air quality. The Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan will rank 131 cities in the country for implementing City Action Plans prepared as part of NCAP to reduce air pollution by up to 40 per cent by 2025-26, the ministry reportedly stated. The ranking will be based solely on the actions taken by cities to improve air quality in various domains, rather than on the measurement of air quality parameters.
