Delhi Air Foulest Among Serial Offenders
Delhi remains the most polluted among the 130 non-attainment cities (those that have consistently failed to meet air quality standards ) in the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), despite a 15 per cent improvement in PM10 levels over seven years. The city also utilised only 22.5 per cent of the funds released to combat air quality under NCAP and 15th Finance Commission. The Union environment ministry provided this information while replying to questions asked by two members of the Lok Sabha. The ministry's reply said that the annual average PM10 level in Delhi had dropped from 241 micrograms per cubic metre in 2017-18 to 203 micrograms per cubic metre in 2024-25. This is still the highest in the country, second only to Patna, which recorded 167 micrograms per cubic metre. The national standard for annual average PM10 concentration is 60 micrograms per cubic metre. PM10 pollutants the coarser aerosols that penetrate deep into the lungs and sources may vary from transport and dust to industrial emissions and burning. The reply, however, dubbed the improvement "notable". In four of the major non-attainment cities, Delhi did better than Chennai (12 per cent improvement), even if it had a PM10 concentration of a mere 58 units. "As per recent data, there has been notable improvement in PM10 levels in major Indian cities. Mumbai has shown improvement in PM10 levels with a 44 per cent reduction in 2024-25 compared with 2017-18, followed by Kolkata (37 per cent) and Delhi (15 per cent)," stated the ministry reply. The reply also stated that Rs 62 crore was sanctioned for action under NCAP and the 15th Finance Commission in 2019-20. Of this, just Rs 13.9 crore has been utilised to date. The reply listed measures taken to control pollution in Delhi, including the use of cleaner fuel and formulation of Graded Response Action Plan. "To address vehicular emissions, govt has taken proactive measures such as the introduction of BSVI fuel norms for vehicles from April 1, 2018, in Delhi and from April 1, 2020, for the rest of the country, introduction of a vehicle scrapping policy and the promotion of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure through various central schemes," the reply stated. It added that the Commission for Air Quality Management also directed Delhi govt to migrate public transport services, especially buses in NCR, to cleaner modes and ordered other anti-pollution measures, like getting brick kilns to adopt zig-zag technology, banning pet coke and furnace oil as industrial fuel, use of piped natural gas for industries and installation of anti-smog guns and dust control measures in the city. Launched in Jan 2019, NCAP aims to reduce PM10 concentrations by 20-30 per cent by 2024, 2017 being the base year. It was later extended to 2026 with a revised target of a 40 per cent reduction against the 2017 level.

ETBWS 2025: Cricket advertising drives full funnel impact
For decades, no sport has united audiences quite like cricket. In recent years, however, the way the game is delivered and consumed has transformed, with digital and immersive formats reshaping how audiences engage with the sport. Brands looking to connect with cricket viewers are also evolving, crafting campaigns that drive awareness, consideration, and sales in more innovative ways. At the 7th edition of the Brand World Summit, organised by ETBrandEquity, a panel of marketing leaders explored how India's most-watched sport can be leveraged for full-funnel impact. The panel featured Lakshmi Narayanan B, CMO, CEAT Tyres; Inderpreet Singh, head of marketing, Birla Opus; Bhawna Sikka, CMO, Adidas India; Zameer Kochar, CMO, Angel One; Aniruddha Haldar, senior vice-president and business head, commuters, EV and corporate brand, TVS Motor Company; and Robin Das, founder and CEO, Brandintelle. The power of creativity, particularly in legacy-driven categories such as paints, emerged as a central theme. 'For me, advertising performance hinges on the creative,' stated Singh. 'I've seen it across 23 years of my career, the biggest delta that you get. You can talk about it qualitatively or run market mix modelling; whichever way you do it, it's the creative that makes the final difference much more than efficiency or other parameters.' Birla Opus entered a competitive paints market dominated by 70–80-year-old brands, and Singh noted that differentiation was non-negotiable. 'We had one brief: be different. If you want to win, you must be very, very different. So that's what it is for me, the power of creativity.' While creativity sets the stage, cultural integration amplifies its impact, particularly through cricket, which serves as a shared national moment. 'When you say India's largest playground for ads, nothing can beat the IPL,' said Haldar. 'We've tried pure digital, pure TV, and now follow a hybrid, because different consumers are pointedly available on their chosen medium.' For TVS, which operates in fast-growing categories such as EVs and scooters, brand experiences must extend beyond traditional advertising. 'Cricket reaches the last mile. When RCB is in the final, it's not just Bangalore, it's Bharat. If your ad fits that moment, in that flavour, it gets spoken about and earns its own media,' Haldar added. Cricket's ability to deliver upper-to-lower funnel continuity is another significant advantage. 'Cricket is the big one,' observed Sikka. 'When you look at BARC data, whether it is Champions Trophy or IPL, this year we've had 350 million audiences on linear TV, 250 million audiences on mobile. For a brand, it's the biggest platform to reach at scale.' As the official kit sponsor of Team India, Adidas does more than simply buy media; it plays a central role in the fan experience. 'When you see the Indian cricket team play in three stripes, it's unparalleled pride and equity you can't monetise. That's the upper funnel,' Sikka shared. 'Mid to lower is the product: aspiring athletes looking at footwear, fans buying the Team India jersey. During big matches, jersey sales shoot up. Are we there when people want to express their fandom? Absolutely.' Cricket also contributes to brand saliency in low-frequency purchase categories. 'The media landscape is highly fragmented. You need to be sharp to find the right media mix. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. But cricket is right on top,' noted Narayanan. CEAT's journey with cricket dates back to 1995 through CEAT Cricket Ratings and, later, a visible on-ground presence during IPL matches. 'For a category like tyres, where buying happens once every five to seven years, cricket opens the top of the funnel not just in India but globally through the diaspora,' said Narayanan. Kochar emphasised the integration of brand and business objectives. 'Brand and business are two sides of the same coin.' Angel One leverages data-driven media mix modelling, analysing 18 months of data to optimise creative, media choices, and budgets for improved RoI (return on investment). 'Our IPL association boosts visibility, recall, and consumer sentiment, with strong lifts in traffic, installs, leads, and positive business trends such as CAC (customer acquisition costs) and lifetime value,' Kochar added. Das pointed out that brands can still achieve impact without large budgets by leveraging shared viewing experiences. 'There are ways brands can leverage IPL without spending that much, especially at the bottom of the funnel,' explained Das. 'Things like more streaming, where people watch together and engage, that's something brands can explore. Not every brand has a big budget, but engagement and conversion can happen in those shared moments.'
