These include effectiveness of the metrics adopted for assessing performance-linked funding in cities; capability and preparedness of the cities to frame the scope of action and coordinate implementation of multi-sector action plans; institutional capability at the departmental level to define the full scope of action that can make a difference; mainstreaming of clean air indicators in the plannin. [...] The effectiveness of ranking and performance evaluation will depend on the method of assessment; benchmarks considered for tracking progress in each sector that defines the nature, scope and scale of action; ability of the states to design action that can make a difference; the uniform spread and deepening of priority action across all key sectors; and the tracking method for air quality improveme. [...] In fact, this emerges as among the top polluters in the pollution inventory done for the seven states of the Indo-Gangetic Plain under the committee of the CPCB. [...] It is therefore not possible to ascertain the level, scale and quality of action in each sector or to understand the scale of action that has enabled the best performing cities to achieve 80–100 per cent of the quantitative targets set for each sector as per the criteria of Swacch Vayu Survekshan (SVS). [...] The level of action needs to be assessed against the level of challenges of mega cities and smaller cities and towns and the larger region.
