CAQM grants temporary exemption for diesel gensets for emergency services
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has announced a temporary exemption for diesel gensets that have not yet transitioned to clean fuel from the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) restrictions.
This decision comes just two days before the scheduled implementation of GRAP.
CAQM’s move to provide this exemption is in response to strong opposition from numerous Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in the National Capital Region (NCR).
These RWAs had protested against the initial decision to impose a complete ban on diesel gensets during this year’s GRAP.
