• Only 2.98 lakh out of 47.51 lakh overage vehicles were deregistered between 2018 and 2021, leaving the majority still operational on Delhi roads.
• Delhi's public transport system was found inadequate, with only 6,750 buses available against a requirement of 11,000, contributing to increased reliance on personal vehicles.
• Thirteen out of 24 air quality monitoring stations failed to meet Central Pollution Control Board standards, undermining accurate pollution tracking.
