Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav met start-ups and innovators to find tech solutions for Delhi air pollution.

Talks covered nine areas, including industrial emissions, vehicles, construction and road dust, and crop burning.

Yadav said linking emission-monitoring data with plant-operation data is essential to catch malpractice.

Start-ups pitched AI-based detection of industrial violations and tamper-proof pollution checks for vehicles.

Other ideas included hyperlocal air monitoring, city-wide pollution maps and AI-based source tracking.

Tools to detect stubble burning round the clock and flag vehicles without valid PUC certificates were shown.

Yadav called for paddy straw storage guidelines and using straw for bioenergy, fuel and compost.

He urged scalable, affordable interventions that can be deployed across Delhi-NCR before winter.
