Delhi: MCD Makes Registration on DPCC Dust Portal Mandatory for Building Plan Approval
In a significant move to combat air pollution, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has announced that registration on the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) dust portal is now mandatory for all construction and demolition projects before building plans can be approved. This new rule, effective as of May 2025, aims to enforce stricter dust control measures and curb air pollution in the capital.
Key Highlights:
- Mandatory Registration: All construction and demolition projects with an area of 500 square meters or more must register on the DPCC’s Dust Pollution Control Self-Assessment Portal (https://dustcontrol.dpcc.delhi.gov.in).
- No Approval Without Registration: The MCD, NDMC, and DCB will not approve building plans without this registration.
- 14-Point Dust Control Guidelines: Contractors must adhere to a 14-point dust control protocol, including the use of anti-smog guns, water sprinkling, wind barricading, and proper covering of debris and vehicles.
- Monitoring: The DPCC will monitor construction sites using AI cameras and 360-degree video surveillance.
- Self-Declaration: Project proponents are required to upload a self-declaration on the dust portal every fortnight.
- Display Board: It is mandatory to install a display board with the DPCC registration ID at every construction site.
Impact and Enforcement:
The MCD has been instructed to integrate the DPCC dust portal with its approval system for building layout plans, ensuring seamless monitoring and compliance. Violations of these rules may result in the denial or cancellation of project permissions.
Delhi’s Environment Minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, stated that this is a “no-compromise policy” and that the government is leveraging technology for real-time enforcement to ensure accountability at every construction site.
