Resource detail

The study examine the impacts that an Low Emission Zones could have on citywide tailpipe emissions in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The report first explore possible geographical areas within the city that could be suitable for an LEZ based on environmental, social, and infrastructure-related features, identifying two options for consideration. It present a citywide spatial inventory of current tailpipe emissions and their distribution by vehicle type, focusing on PM, NOX, hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO).
The study then project the level of emissions in 2030 if Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar does not implement an LEZ and if an LEZ were implemented. Finally, presents an assessment of the benefits of establishing an LEZ in terms of reduced emission load, improved air quality, and damage avoided expressed in economic terms, and then highlight policy considerations.
