Gurgaon's air quality reflects the flat Haryana NCR plain at 217 metres adjacent to Delhi, with vehicle density, construction, and the extraordinary corporate campus and industrial corridor generating elevated PM2.5. The dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates Delhi metropolitan and local emissions extensively and Gurugram generally maintains among India's more persistently challenged NCR corporate corridor environments throughout the dry season.

When is air pollution at its worst in Gurgaon?
In Gurgaon, traffic emissions and construction activity are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when dry, windy weather picks up. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Rains during the wetter months typically wash pollutants out of the air.
Are air quality levels in Gurgaon 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.
