Tata Projects has built India’s first smog tower in Delhi. The smog tower has been inaugurated by Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi.
The 24 mtr high smog tower at Connaught Place, one of the biggest commercial centres in Delhi, is based on a downdraft airflow model.
The smog tower’s 40 huge fans will suck air from the top of a special type of canopy structure and release clean air filtered through novel geometry filters.
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee was the nodal agency for the smog tower, while technology has been developed by experts at the University of Minnesota, USA and IIT-Bombay and IIT-Delhi were technical advisors for the project.
