Emissions from the transportation sector have jumped by 40% from 2010 to 2018 in the NCR (National Capital Region), according to the latest emission inventory prepared by the IITM (Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology), Pune, under the ministry of earth sciences. The share of emission of particulate matter caused by the industrial sector increased by as much as 48% during the same period, though on a far smaller base, the study found. Also, this is largely in the border areas of NCR, according to the emission inventory.
