Air pollution in India has reached a critical level and crowded cities like Delhi NCR face serious health impacts. The air pollution is causing serious respiratory problems primarily in children and elderly. It is one of the leading health challenges of the country. In 2021, more than 169,400 children aged younger than five in India died because of the air pollution¹, indicating how important it is to come up with new ways to clean the air we breathe. Green energy companies like Nirvahana are offering practices that help people breathe easier, focusing on clean air and sustainable energy.
In view of improving air quality in Delhi, the government implemented measures in 2024 to set up “green buffers”, promoting only green crackers and imposed a complete ban on use of firecrackers. The Government also promotes public transport in order to lower emissions from vehicles.² These measures go hand in hand with what Nirvahana stands for, i.e. clean energy and sustainable practices to help people breathe easy.

Air pollution not only makes it harder to breathe but it has many health impacts:
- Respiratory Problems: Prolonged exposure to pollutants like PM2.5 and PM10 can lead to chronic breathing issues, including asthma and COPD.³
- Heart Risks: Fine particles can travel into the bloodstream, which increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.⁴
- Cancer: Pollutants like nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂) are linked to lung cancer.⁵
- Diabetes: Studies show that exposure to fine particles can even contribute to insulin resistance, raising the risk of type 2 diabetes.⁶
Young children are especially vulnerable due to lung development. According to a UNICEF study, around 464 children in India die every day from air pollution-related illnesses while under the age of five.⁷ This data reveals the importance of cleaner environments to protect the health of future generations.

Nirvahana addresses these challenges through the E360 platform, which uses real-time data to monitor indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption. The E360 platform takes care of your health and well-being in the following ways:
- Indoor Air Quality Monitoring: The E360 platform tracks and monitors essential air quality parameters, including PM2.5, PM10, CO2 and other harmful pollutants to provide you with a healthier indoor environment.
- Enhanced Ventilation: E360 makes use of HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) to ensure that pollution doesn’t choke up your indoor space, all while ensuring energy savings.
- Pathogen Protection: E360 ensures that your indoor space remains free from airborne germs and viruses through the use of ActivePure technology, thereby giving you a virus-free atmosphere.
Nirvahana also focuses very heavily on solar energy, which is central for reducing outdoor pollution by minimising the need for fossil fuels. All buildings and homes powered by Nirvahana’s solar solutions help in lowering carbon emissions leading to a reduction in pollution and helping the environment. Not only does solar energy proclaim to provide a pollution-free future, it also liberates communities from dependence on pollution-heavy energy sources such as coal and diesel. Nirvahana’s solar energy services give you the power to benefit our planet. With Nirvahana, you can start contributing to a pollution-free future and reduce your energy costs for an undisputed future.

The E360 platform by Nirvahana not only improves air quality but also aids in the sustainable operation of buildings and mitigates wasteful energy. Through IoT-based technology, E360 provides information to property managers to make energy-smart decisions for a sustainable future. Nirvahana’s approach is consistent with global efforts to minimize pollution and clean the environment for safer and cleaner community space availability.
The impact of pollution on health is significant, but Nirvahana’s solutions demonstrate that there is a way forward. It offers solutions toward reducing greenhouse gases emission and improving the quality of air. Every effort counts in our journey to reduce pollution and improve public health. Take the first step towards cleaner air and discover Nirvahana for a healthier, more sustainable future.
