Air quality across major Indian cities remains a serious concern, with Delhi recording extremely hazardous conditions.

The AQI in the national capital has touched the maximum level, placing it in the “severe to hazardous” category.

According to IMD, an Orange Alert has been issued as pollution levels worsened due to calm winds and dense fog, increasing health risks for all age groups.

Mumbai and Jaipur are reporting moderately polluted air with AQI around 110, while Kolkata continues to struggle with poor air quality at 230.

Ahmedabad remains relatively better, recording a satisfactory AQI of 80. Residents, especially in North, are advised to limit outdoor activities, wear masks, and follow health advisories as poor dispersion conditions persist.
