New Delhi Chokes Under “Very Poor” Air Quality as Smog Persists
New Delhi – November 23, 2025 – A thick blanket of smog continues to plague New Delhi, as air quality remains in the “very poor” category for the city’s residents. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) reached 381 this morning.
Data from the CPCB’s Sameer app reveals that several monitoring stations across the capital are reporting even more alarming levels of pollution, with 13 stations registering air quality in the “severe” category.
The CPCB categorizes an AQI between 301-400 as “very poor” and 401-500 as “severe,” indicating significant health risks for the population.
While the air quality poses a significant concern, the minimum temperature settled at 14°C, almost 3°C above the seasonal average, accompanied by high humidity at 86%. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts shallow fog for the day, with the maximum temperature expected to reach around 26°C.
The poor air quality raises renewed concerns about the health impacts on Delhi’s residents, prompting calls for stricter measures to curb pollution levels. The Supreme Court has previously authorized the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to implement proactive steps to address the ongoing crisis.
