Hyderabad's air quality reflects the Deccan Plateau's elevated granite basin at 536 metres surrounded by the Nallamala and Eastern Ghats ranges, with vehicle traffic on the Outer Ring Road and surrounding pharmaceutical, IT campus, and construction corridor contributing elevated PM10. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days, while vehicle and construction dust have grown dramatically alongside the technology boom and Hyderabad generally maintains moderate to elevated South Indian metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.
