20000 sqm

Introduction

Delhi NCR remains one of the most polluted regions globally, with average AQI levels exceeding 400 during the winter months, categorised as “Severe”. Among the major contributors to this alarming pollution are construction and demolition (C&D) activities, which account for nearly 30% of the region’s PM10 emissions.

To tackle this challenge, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) was established in 2021 to coordinate air quality management across NCR. Acting on its directives, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) issued new mandates requiring all construction sites over 500 sq. m to install real-time air quality monitoring using low-cost sensors (LCS), CCTV video fencing and mandatory LED displays & dust mitigation systems for sites over 20,000 sq. m. in area.

Vinta Realty Ltd., a leading real estate developer, undertook construction at Worldmark, Aerocity (Delhi) a premium mixed-use development in the heart of NCR. To ensure seamless compliance with DPCC’s new directives, the company partnered with DS Consulting, an Airveda channel partner, to implement a fully compliant air quality monitoring and display solution.

Problem Statement

In December 2024, the DPCC, in alignment with CAQM directives, made it mandatory for all construction and demolition sites to:

Install low-cost air quality monitors integrated with the DPCC portal.
Implement CCTV-based video fencing
Integrated large LED displays showing real-time AQI data & anti-smog guns for sites above 20,000 sq. m.
Maintain detailed compliance records, including fortnightly audits and dust control documentation.

While these measures significantly strengthened environmental oversight, developers faced challenges in:

Selecting DPCC-approved monitoring systems meeting accuracy and integration requirements.
Ensuring uninterrupted data transmission to the DPCC cloud.
Coordinating on-site LED display and CCTV integration with monitoring systems.
Simplifying setup, calibration, and long-term maintenance for continuous compliance.

Vinta Realty sought a single, reliable technology partner to manage all aspects of air quality monitoring, ensuring both accuracy and regulatory readiness.
