Delhi has experienced notable improvements in air quality, recording its lowest April AQI in nearly a decade. The monthly average stood at 178, excluding 2020's figures due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) reported this remarkable shift in air quality trends, highlighting a substantial drop from previous years.
With an AQI of 222 in 2018 and fluctuating throughout the years, Delhi's air quality management strategies seem to be effective, marking 2026 as a year of significant environmental progress.
