<h1>Government relaxes SO2 emission norms for thermal power plants citing scientific studies and minimal PM2.5 impact</h1> The government defended its decision to relax sulphur dioxide emission norms for thermal power plants, stating the move was based on scientific studies by institutions including IIT Delhi and NEERI. The ministry rejected claims of regulatory dilution, asserting that SO2 contributes minimally to PM2.5 pollution levels. Under the revised notification, Category A plants near major cities must comply by December 2027, Category B plants will be assessed case-by-case, and Category C plants comprising 462 of 600 thermal units are completely exempted from SO2 norms if they meet stack height criteria by 2029.
