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.

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.
