Air Quality Improves in Noida While Delhi Faces Hotspots

Air‑quality monitoring stations in Noida have recorded a notable dip in particulate matter levels during the same period. Sector‑125 posted an AQI of 70, Sector‑62 measured 60, Sector‑1 stood at 90, and Sector‑116 logged 99, placing the city’s monitored zones in the ‘satisfactory’ band.

Conversely, Delhi shows a mixed picture. Areas such as Anand Vihar and Bawana recorded AQI values around 200, signifying poor air conditions, while locations like Ashok Vihar (89), Aaya Nagar (58), and Commonwealth Sports Complex (63) remain within a healthier range. The contrast underscores persistent pollution hotspots in the capital that still require concerted mitigation efforts.
