The air quality this October in Delhi is not only better than last year, but also the best in at least the past four years. Covid-19 related restrictions and their impact on mobility would suggest that this improvement in air quality should have happened in 2020, not 2021. After all, transport and industry are important contributors to pollution, and both mobility and economic activity are higher this year.
