On November 2, the AQI in Delhi rose to 324 (very poor) at 4 p.m., up from 261 (poor) the previous day, leading to the invocation of Stage 2 of the Graded Response Action Plan. In response, state governments are raising vehicle parking fees, introducing staggered timings for public offices and municipal bodies, and the Delhi Metro is adding 20 extra trips.
