Abstract With the rapid growth of industries and population in India, increase of air pollutants emissions is expected and will result in higher pollution levels in future than nowadays without proper control measurements. This study will investigate the effects of emission reduction on concentrations of ozone and particulate matter (PM) in India, 2015 using the Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. The meteorology will be generated using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 3.7.1 and 9 emission scenarios will be developed based on Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) version 4.3 as following: 10%, 20%, 30% to 90% reduction of national wide anthropological emissions. The differences in spatial variations of air pollutants between reduction and non-reduction scenarios will be analyzed. The results will be helpful to develop emission control measurements to reduce air pollution in India.
