Abstract

India's coal-burning plants are expected to miss a pollution target, contributing to the severe smog affecting the country. The installation of equipment to reduce sulfur-dioxide emissions is behind schedule, with only a small percentage of coal power plants having the necessary pollution control systems in place. The delay in compliance poses a threat to public health and air quality, with concerns raised about the high cost of installation and potential electricity supply disruptions. The government is urged to take urgent action to address the worsening air quality crisis. [Extracted from the article]
