The national capital continues to grapple with dangerously poor air quality as several regions recorded Air Quality Index (AQI) readings crossing the 400 mark, pushing them into the severe category. The situation remains critical across the National Capital Region with no immediate relief in sight.
NCR Cities Approach Severe Pollution Levels
According to recent data, Noida registered an AQI of 396, placing it dangerously close to the severe category threshold. The neighboring city of Greater Noida recorded an AQI of 399, which falls under the "Very Poor" classification but stands just one point away from being categorized as severe. Both cities are experiencing atmospheric conditions that pose significant health risks to residents.
Widespread Air Quality Crisis
The pollution crisis has enveloped multiple areas across Delhi, with several locations reporting AQI values exceeding 400. This indicates severely compromised air quality that can affect healthy people and seriously impact those with existing respiratory conditions. The persistent poor air quality has become a major public health concern for the entire region.

Medical experts have warned that prolonged exposure to such high pollution levels can lead to serious health complications. The current air quality readings, recorded on November 24, 2025, demonstrate the continuing environmental challenge facing the capital region. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as residents await improvement in atmospheric conditions.
