Gurugram AQI — Live
The number above is Gurugram’s current US-EPA AQI, calculated from PM2.5 readings via IQAir. Below the live number: what it means right now, the threshold reference, and what actually works to protect indoor air.
What this AQI value means right now
| AQI | Category | What it means for your day |
|---|---|---|
| 0–50 | Good | Open windows. Outdoor exercise fine. Rare in Gurugram. |
| 51–100 | Satisfactory | Sensitive groups (kids, elderly, asthma) should limit prolonged outdoor exertion. |
| 101–150 | Moderate | Unhealthy for sensitive groups. Limit outdoor time for kids; close windows. |
| 151–200 | Poor | Unhealthy for everyone. Run any indoor air filtration you have. |
| 201–300 | Very Poor | Reduce outdoor exposure. Mask outdoors. Indoor PM2.5 likely elevated unless you have active filtration. |
| 301+ | Severe | Stay indoors with active filtration. WHO 24-hour PM2.5 guideline of 15 µg/m³ is being exceeded 20×+. |
The WHO recommends PM2.5 below 15 µg/m³ averaged over 24 hours. Gurugram’s annual average sits around 70–120 µg/m³ — 5× to 8× the guideline.
Why Gurugram air is the way it is
Gurugram’s air is dominated by NCR airshed pollution plus localised contributors:
- Vehicle density — NH-48, Sohna Road, Golf Course Road, the Cyber City corridor. Heavy commuter inflow daily.
- Construction dust — 500+ active construction sites across Gurugram at any given time. Dwarka Expressway feeders, Sector 65–80 development, glass-façade towers under construction.
- Stubble burning (Oct–Nov) — northwesterly winds bring Punjab/Haryana stubble smoke into NCR; Gurugram sits directly downwind.
- Diesel-cab volume — high concentration of cab-aggregator vehicles, particularly Golf Course Extension and the corporate corridors.
- Glass-façade buildings — modern Gurugram high-rises rely on central HVAC. Most aren’t tuned for fresh-air intake; they recirculate indoor air without flushing CO₂.
- Geographic position — within Delhi’s 30 km airshed; same winter inversions trap pollution.
Monsoon clears PM10 dust but leaves PM2.5 broadly intact. Indoor air remains a problem through monsoon — just less severe than winter.
What aqi0 sees in Gurugram homes (AQI before/after)
The pattern is consistent across our installs:
| Time after install | Indoor PM2.5 typical |
|---|---|
| Pre-install | 80–250 µg/m³ (matches outdoor) |
| 1 hour after start | 30–60 µg/m³ |
| 2 hours after start | 10–25 µg/m³ |
| Steady-state (with doors closed) | < 15 µg/m³ |
| Diwali week (outdoor AQI 400+) | 20–35 µg/m³ (10× lower than outdoor) |
The monitor on every aqi0 install shows this live. Customers don’t trust us — they watch the numbers.
What aqi0 does
We install positive-pressure fresh air systems for Indian homes. Indoor PM2.5 stays below 10 µg/m³ with fresh filters. CO₂ flushes continuously below 1,000 ppm, even in closed bedrooms overnight. One unit covers up to 2,000 sq ft (a typical 2–4 BHK).
| Item | All-in (incl. 18% GST) |
|---|---|
| Fresh Air System (installed) | ₹70,000 + GST (₹82,600 all-in) |
| Annual AMC | ₹12,500 + GST (₹14,750/year all-in) |
Bundle perk: the aqi0 AQI monitor (₹6,000) is included free when AMC is signed on the same invoice as the system.
Same pricing across Gurugram. Installation, ducting, electrical, and louver are included. .

Frequently asked questions about Gurugram AQI
What is Gurugram’s AQI today?
The live number at the top of this page is Gurugram’s current air quality index, calculated from real-time PM2.5 readings via IQAir. Gurugram’s annual average AQI sits around 180–200; winter peaks regularly cross 350 (Severe). The city is administratively distinct from Delhi but shares the same airshed — pollution loads track Delhi’s closely.
Is Gurugram’s AQI better than Delhi’s?
Marginally on most days, but not meaningfully. Gurugram and Delhi sit in the same NCR airshed, and most pollution is transported across the boundary by wind. On a typical winter day Gurugram may read 10–30 AQI points lower than Delhi, but both routinely cross 300 between October and February. Indoor air in either city tracks outdoor PM2.5 within 1–2 hours unless active fresh-air filtration is running.
Why is Gurgaon’s AQI bad even in summer?
Three reasons. (1) Construction never stops along Sohna Road, Dwarka Expressway, and the Golf Course Extension corridors — perpetual dust load year-round. (2) Vehicle emissions from commute traffic concentrated along NH-48, NH-248A, and the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway. (3) Regional NCR airshed plumes from industrial zones and brick kilns within 100 km. Monsoon helps with PM10 but not PM2.5.
What’s a safe AQI level for kids in Gurugram?
The WHO PM2.5 guideline is 15 µg/m³ over 24 hours, corresponding to AQI under about 50. Children breathe at a higher rate per kilogram of body weight than adults, and their developing lungs and brains are more sensitive to PM2.5 exposure. Indoor PM2.5 below 10 µg/m³ — achievable with active fresh-air filtration — is the practical target for homes with young children. Gurugram outdoor air is rarely under that threshold.
What works to fix Gurugram indoor air?
A whole-home positive-pressure fresh air system. It pulls outdoor air through H13 HEPA filtration and pushes it into the home, pressurising the space so polluted air leaks out rather than in. This is the only solution that simultaneously reduces PM2.5 below 10 µg/m³ and continuously flushes CO₂ below 1,000 ppm. Air purifiers reduce PM2.5 in single rooms but cannot reduce CO₂ and require closed-door operation. We’ve installed in 6+ homes in Gurugram across societies in Sectors 31, 47, 48, 66 and DLF Phase 3/5.
What Gurugram could look like
Aravallis on the horizon, an electric bus on the road, the sky the colour the WHO guideline asks for. aqi0 is the indoor half of that future, working today.
