A thick blanket of smog shrouded the national capital on Saturday morning with an air quality index (AQI) of 397, on the brinks of the ‘severe’ category.
Of the total monitoring stations in Delhi, 21 were in the ‘severe’ category with AQI readings crossing the 400-mark, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) showed.
According to the CPCB data, Wazirpur registered the highest AQI at 445, followed by Vivek Vihar at 444, Jahangirpuri at 442, Anand Vihar at 439, and 437 each in Ashok Vihar and Rohini.
Narela recorded an AQI of 432, followed by 431 in Pratapganj, 430 in Mundka, and 429 each in Bawana, ITO and Nehru Nagar, it added.
The Delhi government has reinstated GRAP Stage III after previously lifting it, following a sharp rise in the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI).
The AQI, which was 349 on December 12, 2025, at 4 PM, surged overnight to 401 by 10 AM on December 13, 2025.
The worsening air quality is attributed to slow wind speed, a stable atmosphere, unfavourable weather conditions, and poor dispersal of pollutants.
