Delhi-NCR air quality takes a hit: Here's what you need to know

India Dec 09, 2025

Delhi's air isn't looking great right now—today's AQI was 294, which lands in the "poor" zone.
Bawana had it even worse at 342 ("very poor"), and parts of the city were enveloped by a layer of thick haze early Tuesday.

How bad is it elsewhere?

It's not just one area—Jahangirpuri and Pusa both saw AQIs of 331, while Nehru Nagar was close behind at 325.
The NCR isn't spared either: Gurgaon, Noida, and Greater Noida all recorded "very poor" levels too.
Basically, much of Delhi and its neighbors are struggling with serious air quality issues right now.
