While the air quality in the national capital has been deteriorating, the Indian government has stepped up the purchase of air purifiers over the last two years, taking the number of devices in ministries to protect against toxic air to nearly 300. Six federal ministries - including the health, foreign and home affairs - bought at least 159 air purifiers during 2018-2019 at a cost of 5 million rupees.
