On its own count the pipeline puts the observed year at +2 points; with the weather removed it reads -0.8 on the model's count. 4 of 6 pollutants, PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, show no real improvement.

From 99 to 78. The 95 per cent interval runs -27.8 to -12.2 points, on 43 matched stations.

Today 78 across 43 stations. The year is judged on the 35 matched stations: 81 today against 82, the mean of the same date ±7 days of 2025 at those stations. The interval runs -10.4 to 9.8 points, so the honest reading is level, not better.

Moderate, on PM10. Last year this station read 61 on the ±7-day mean around this date; the change is 136.3 points. Within 500 m of the monitor, 90% of the land is built up and 10% is under vegetation, so this reading describes a densely built neighbourhood.

On the same 245 dates the best tenth of days reads 84 against 72, and the worst tenth 301 against 295. Each is unchanged inside its margin, and the days at or below 200 went from 166 to 167.

That is 12.4 of 43.1 reporting stations, against 29 per cent over the same dates last year, a change of +0.6 points on an interval of -2.9 to +4.1, so it is unchanged inside its margin.

Within 4 km live 88 per cent of Delhi's people, within 2 km 41 per cent, and within 500 m only 3.3 per cent. India's own rules ask for about 46 particulate monitors, because IS 5182 scales the count to population, and Delhi has 44. So the count test passes, while 29 of the 44 zones still stretch past 4 km, which is as far as a monitor is held to speak.

That is 0.0 per cent of Delhi, living around the 0 monitors that read Poor or worse. Aya Nagar was worst at 197, and 138,305 people live within 4 km of it. On the wider count, 24 per cent live within 4 km of a monitor at Moderate or worse.
