Revolutionary policy changes like introduction of Delhi Metro Rail, CNG buses, afforestation & increase in forest cover, banning of use of plastic bags, subsidy on the electric car (REVA) and solar water heating systems, have brought significant changes to Delhi's environment.
MGICCC has started functioning since January 31, 2009.
