Delhi's air gets a bit better, but still "very poor"

India Nov 15, 2025

Delhi's air quality has inched up from "severe" to just "very poor," with an AQI of 386—still far from healthy.
While some areas like Lodhi Road saw slightly cleaner air, 15 spots across the city are stuck at severe pollution levels.
The drop in stubble burning helped a little, but with more farm fires expected, pollution could spike again soon.

What's happening next?

Worried about health risks from the bad air, senior advocate Vikas Pahwa has asked the Delhi High Court to switch to hybrid or virtual hearings.
Meanwhile, expect Saturday, November 15, to be cool and foggy, with temps between 10°C and 28°C according to IMD.
