He said that the focus should also be on reducing emissions from all sources such as "vehicular exhaust and non-exhaust, municipal waste burning, construction activities, fugitive and industrial emission along with stubble burning."
Locals say the situation is taking a toll on their health.
"I suffered from COVID-19 last year, and I can feel with the rising pollution, there is a difficulty in breathing," Harshit Kumar, a Delhi resident told Anadolu Agency.
"There is a burning sensation in the eyes and the government should take drastic measures to help the people to end this problem."
A political war has erupted over the pollution problem.
Indian Federal Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav this week accused AAP of turning Delhi into a "gas chamber."
He said the Punjab state saw over a 19% rise in farm fires over 2021.
Kejriwal, however, called for an end to "blame games and finger-pointing."
"Let's stop the blame game. Let's find solutions as a country," he tweeted on Friday.
