What is Hepa Purifier?

A HEPA purifier is an air cleaner that uses a special filter called HEPA, which stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air, to trap super tiny particles in the air like dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, bacteria, and even fine smog pollution (PM2.5) that you can’t see.

Working: It works by sucking air through the machine with a fan, first passing it through a basic pre-filter to catch bigger dirt, then a carbon layer to remove bad smells and gases, and finally the thick, pleated HEPA filter made of fine glass fibers that captures at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns—the size of most harmful stuff floating around.

Life Threatening Pollution in Delhi

Delhi’s AQI is currently Hazardous (around 419-483), with PM2.5 at 393+ µg/m³ and PM10 at 367+ µg/m³, driven by winter smog, stubble burning, and trapped pollutants—zero “Good” days in 2025 per records.

Experts emphasize air purifiers as essential indoor defense in Delhi’s year-round crisis, especially now.

Reason from Experts	Health Impact of Air Pollution
Extremely high PM2.5/PM10 penetrates lungs/bloodstream	Triggers asthma/COPD attacks, shortness of breath, chest tightness, even short exposure (hours) harms healthy people
Ozone, NO2, VOCs, formaldehyde irritate airways	Causes coughing, headaches, fatigue, sleep issues; worse for kids, elderly, pregnant, asthmatics, heart/diabetes patients
No clean air days	HEPA purifiers cut indoor PM2.5 by 50%+ in hours, reducing “extreme” exposure when outdoors is deadly
Continuous winter smog (AQI 385-724 recent)	Run 24/7 in closed rooms for fatigue/allergy relief; Delhi govt installing in schools as no source fixes work fast enough
Indoor air often worse than outside	Traps smoke/soot (e.g., Diwali spikes); purifiers provide “peace of mind” for homes/hotels.

Why Govt is not removing 18% GST from Air purifiers?

Recent Supreme Court Statement : If you are not able to solve the pollution crisis of Delhi then at least reduce the prices of GST from Air purifiers.

Revert of Central Govt. : Air purifier is not a medical device so, will not be able to reduce the GST on Air purifiers.

Here Central Govt. Forget that the air purifiers are like an emergency device for all the people who are living in Delhi at this time in hazardous air quality. For whom experts are saying the Delhi’s people are sacrificing their 10 years life span due to Delhi’s pollution crisis.

We appeal to central Govt. Please reduce or remove the GST from the Air purifiers, so maximum people can afford the air purifiers and at least prevent themselves from the air pollution inside their homes and offices in the cities like Delhi, where air pollution is effecting the health of the people.
