Ahmedabad's air quality reflects the flat Gujarat Sabarmati River plain at 53 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the textile, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing corridor generating elevated PM2.5. The flat terrain allows reasonable monsoon-season dispersal, while the dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates emissions and windblown Thar Desert dust contributes elevated PM10, maintaining Ahmedabad among western India's more persistently challenged major metropolitan environments throughout the dry season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Ahmedabad right now?
On 22 September 2026, overall air quality in Ahmedabad is very poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 88.3/100. Pollution peaks around 7:30 PM (NO2: 88.3/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Ahmedabad?

When is air pollution at its worst in Ahmedabad?
Air quality in Ahmedabad tends to be worse when traffic emissions, steel, cement, and chemical production, and manufacturing activity build up and windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Rainfall through the monsoon usually keeps levels in check.
Are air quality levels in Ahmedabad based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
