दिन का सार

Delhi's AQI was 379.3, Very Poor, calculated with CPCB's documented formula as the mean of 58 stations' AQIs (CPCB's note "How is AQI calculated?" and its AQI Calculator; page 29 sets out the formula). As measured, 59 of the 59 monitors reading PM2.5 were above the WHO 24-hour guideline of 15 µg/m³. Above AQI 200 today: 57 stations, IIT Delhi 500, NSIT Dwarka 483, Chandni Chowk 480, Anand Vihar 465, and 53 more in the station table. Poor or worse air reached 2.06 crore people within 4 km of their monitor today, 91.0 per cent of Delhi.

The year so far, 1 January to 13 November: the cleaner days of 2026 have been the dirtiest for these dates since 2019, because three days in four read above 108.8 on the particle AQI, against 95.6 on the same dates of 2025. The middle day reads 158.6 against 147.8 on the same dates last year. On an average day, 30.2 per cent of Delhi's reporting monitors, about 14 of 45, sat above 200 on the particle AQI.

रिपोर्ट क्या कहती है

यह रिपोर्ट अंग्रेज़ी में है।

Against yesterday: the one-day move
From 396 to 379. On the 58 stations that reported on both days, the 95 per cent interval runs -21.2 to -11.3 points.
Against last year: the observed reading
Today 379 across 58 stations. The year is judged on the 39 matched stations: 386 today against 405, the mean of the same date ±7 days of 2025 at those stations. The interval runs -34 to -1 points.
The worst station in the city today
Severe, set by PM10. Its PM10 averaged 557.1 µg/m³ over the 24 hours to 4 PM, 12.3 times the WHO 24-hour guideline of 45 µg/m³. 7.2 lakh people live within 4 km of this monitor. Within 500 m of the monitor, 40% of the land is built up and 60% is under vegetation, so this reading describes a mixed neighbourhood.
The year, from its best days to its worst
On the same 317 complete dates, 1 January to 13 November, the best tenth of days reads 78.9 against 72.6 and the worst tenth 313.3 against 323.9. The days at or below 200 went from 211 to 219.
How much of the city was above AQI 200
That is 13.5 of 44.7 reporting stations, against 31.7 per cent over the same dates last year, a change of -1.5 points on an interval of -8.2 to +4.5, so it is unchanged inside its margin. On 2025's own monitors, 2026 reads 31.6 per cent against 31.7 in 2025.
How many station-hours were above AQI 200, and at 500
Against 32.1 per cent over the same dates in 2025. On 2025's own monitors, 2026 reads 33.3 per cent against 32.1, and at AQI 500 2.39 against 2.43. 7,347 station-hours in 2026 stood at AQI 500, 2.17 per cent of all hours measured.
Who the monitoring network reaches
Within 4 km live 92 per cent of Delhi's people, within 2 km 44 per cent, and within 500 m only 3.5 per cent. The map holds 55 monitors in 53 zones; 58 monitors reported today. 33 of the 53 zones stretch past our chosen 4 km proximity threshold, informed by US EPA neighbourhood-scale guidance.
What each monitor's reading speaks for
That is 91.0 per cent of Delhi, living around the 57 monitors that read Poor or worse. IIT Delhi was worst at 500, and 7.2 lakh people live within 4 km of it. This counts people near the monitors, not measured individual exposure.
