Delhi's Air Quality Improves to 'Moderate' After Three Days of 'Poor' Levels
IN · Published Oct 24, 2026
• Delhi's air quality showed improvement on Saturday morning, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) moving to the 'moderate' category after three consecutive days of 'poor' levels.
• According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the AQI was recorded at 185 (moderate) at 9 am on Saturday, compared to a 24-hour average of 230 (poor) at 4 pm on Friday.

Impact & Risks

The improvement in air quality brings temporary relief to Delhi residents, who had been experiencing 'poor' air conditions for the past three days. However, an AQI of 185 still falls within the 'moderate' category, which can cause discomfort for individuals with respiratory issues or other health conditions. The slight drop in minimum temperatures may provide some respite from the heat, but the air quality remains a concern, especially for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions.
