Delhi's air quality hits "poor" mark

India Nov 05, 2025

Delhi's air quality just hit the "poor" mark, with an AQI of 230 overall on Wednesday.
Some spots were even worse—Holambi Khurd Village and Ghaziabad saw AQIs over 400, while places like Anand Vihar, Patparganj, Lajpat Nagar, and Aerocity all crossed 320.
Not great news for anyone heading outside.

What to do when pollution peaks

Delhi's air has been stuck in the "poor" or "very poor" range for weeks now, and things could get tougher as winter brings more stubble burning.
People are being urged to mask up and cut down on outdoor time when pollution peaks—just a little extra care can go a long way.
