About AQI247

What AQI247 is

AQI247 shows live air quality for more than 280 Indian cities and over 550 official monitoring stations, in English and Hindi. Every page gives the AQI on India’s official CPCB scale, the pollutants behind it, an hourly trend and plain-language health advice.

Live numbers are easy to find. We focus on what helps you decide what to do: the station nearest to you, how the air has changed through the day, which cities are worst right now, and what the GRAP restrictions mean in Delhi NCR.

Who runs it

AQI247 is published by Social-Impact Innovations Pvt. Ltd., an Indian company (social-impact.in).

AQI247 is independent. It is not run by, or affiliated with, the Central Pollution Control Board, any state pollution control board or any government body.

Where the data comes from

Readings come from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and state pollution control boards, published on data.gov.in under the Government Open Data License – India. When that feed is missing or late, we use readings from the same official monitors via OpenAQ.
