Explanation:

NCAP was launched by the Central Government in January, as a comprehensive management plan for prevention, control and abatement of air pollution besides augmenting the air quality monitoring network across the country.
The tentative national level target by NCAP is 20%–30% reduction of PM2.5 and PM10 concentration by 2024.
Earlier this month, the ministry had released a draft national action plan proposing multiple strategy to reduce air pollution.
The tentative national level target of 20%–30% reduction of PM2.5 and PM10 concentration by 2024 is proposed under the NCAP taking 2017 as the base year for the comparison of concentration.
