Aurangābād's air quality reflects the Maharashtra Deccan Plateau's Kham River basin at 513 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the automotive manufacturing — Aurangabad hosting major Skoda, Volkswagen, and Bajaj plants — and heritage tourism corridor contributing local sources. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal, while the dry northeast monsoon concentrates vehicle and industrial emissions and the automotive manufacturing character makes Aurangabad Maharashtra's most distinctively automotive production-defined heritage metropolitan environment throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Aurangābād?
Air quality in Aurangābād tends to be worse when vehicle traffic, manufacturing and food processing, together with seasonal tourism traffic build up and dry spells bring strong winds. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. The wet season generally clears the air, while the dry season lets levels build back up.
Are air quality levels in Aurangābād 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.
