Gwalior's air quality reflects the flat Madhya Pradesh Chambal River plain at 209 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, tourism, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates emissions from October to March, while the flat alluvial terrain's minimal topographic dispersal maintains Gwalior among Madhya Pradesh's more persistently challenged major metropolitan environments throughout the dry season months.

When is air pollution at its worst in Gwalior?
Pollution in Gwalior typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads, manufacturing activity, together with agricultural activity combine, especially once the monsoon rains ease off. Rains during the wetter months typically wash pollutants out of the air. Outside the monsoon, dry-season stagnation can let pollution build up further.
Are air quality levels in Gwalior 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.
