Rising levels of air pollution in urban areas contribute to respiratory issues, including coughing and congestion. As urbanization continues and pollution levels increase, the demand for cough remedies rises proportionally. For instance, according to the data published by The Air Quality Life Index (AQLI), India is the second-most polluted country in the world. To curb the country's pollution levels, in 2019, Indian government launched its National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) to reduce particulate pollution in the country by around 20-30% by 2024. The government updated this target in 2022 to 40 percent reduction with a timeline of 2025-2026.
