Jaipur AQI — Live
The number above is Jaipur’s current US-EPA AQI, calculated from the nearest IQAir station via GPS lookup. 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 Jaipur outside monsoon. |
| 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. Jaipur’s annual average sits around 55–75 µg/m³ — 4× to 5× the guideline. Lower than Delhi NCR, but well above safe.
Why Jaipur air is the way it is
Jaipur’s air-quality story is different from the NCR airshed — it sits in a semi-arid Aravalli basin with its own local mix:
- Wind-blown dust — Jaipur sits on the edge of the Thar Desert; PM10 from soil and construction dominates outside monsoon
- Vehicle emissions — heavy commute traffic on Tonk Road, Ajmer Road, Sikar Road; high two-wheeler density
- Industrial belt — Vishwakarma, Bagru, Sitapura, Sanganer industrial areas contribute PM2.5 and chemical emissions
- Marble and stone-cutting dust — Rajasthan’s stone industry concentrates fine particulate
- Construction dust — Jaipur is expanding rapidly along Ajmer Road, Vidyadhar Nagar, Mansarovar Extension, Jagatpura
- Pre-monsoon dust storms (Apr–Jun) — strong westerly winds drive PM10 spikes to 300+ µg/m³ on bad days
- Winter biomass burning — local crop residue and household cooking smoke in surrounding villages
- Pre-Diwali and post-Diwali firecracker spikes — short but severe PM2.5 peaks
Monsoon and post-monsoon (Jul–Oct) are Jaipur’s cleanest months. November onward, PM2.5 climbs steadily.
Indoor air in Jaipur homes — the data parents miss
Jaipur homes range from old walled-city havelis to new towers in Mansarovar, Malviya Nagar, Vaishali Nagar, Jagatpura, and Vidyadhar Nagar. The pattern is the same across all: once doors and windows are closed against dust, indoor PM2.5 tracks outdoor PM2.5 with a 1–2 hour lag. CO₂ in closed bedrooms overnight reaches 1,500–2,500 ppm — well above the 1,000 ppm WHO comfort threshold.
Air purifiers help with PM2.5 (in the room they’re in) but cannot reduce CO₂. Whole-home positive-pressure ventilation handles both: pulls outdoor air through H13 HEPA, pushes it in continuously, pressurises the home so polluted air leaks out — and seals the dust out without trapping you in stale air.
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. 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.

Frequently asked questions about Jaipur AQI
What is Jaipur’s AQI today?
The live number at the top of this page is Jaipur’s current air quality index, calculated from real-time PM2.5 readings via IQAir. It refreshes hourly. Jaipur’s annual average AQI sits around 130–160 (Moderate to Poor); winter peaks regularly cross 250, and pre-monsoon dust storms can push it above 300 briefly.
Is Jaipur’s AQI as bad as Delhi’s?
Generally better than Delhi, but not by enough to relax. Jaipur sits outside the Delhi NCR airshed, but local sources (vehicle traffic, marble dust, industrial belts, desert dust) keep PM2.5 well above WHO guidelines for most of the year. Indoor air still needs active filtration if you have children, elderly, or anyone with respiratory issues at home.
Why does Jaipur’s AQI spike in winter?
Three combined causes. (1) Cold-layer inversions trap pollution near the ground — wind speed drops, vertical mixing collapses, and pollutants accumulate over days. (2) Crop-residue burning in surrounding rural Rajasthan and parts of Haryana contributes to background PM2.5. (3) Local sources persist year-round: vehicle traffic, marble and stone-cutting dust, and construction across Jaipur’s expanding fringes.
What’s a safe AQI for kids in Jaipur?
The WHO 24-hour PM2.5 guideline is 15 µg/m³, equivalent to AQI under 50. Children’s developing respiratory and cognitive systems are particularly sensitive to PM2.5 exposure. Jaipur outdoor air rarely meets this guideline outside of monsoon and immediate post-monsoon. Indoor PM2.5 below 10 µg/m³ — achievable with active fresh-air filtration — is the practical target for households with young children.
How can I keep Jaipur indoor air clean?
A positive-pressure fresh air system is the single solution that addresses both PM2.5 and CO₂ for the whole home year-round. It pulls outdoor air through H13 HEPA filtration and pumps it indoors, pressurising the home so pollution and dust leak out rather than in. Air purifiers reduce PM2.5 in one room but cannot reduce CO₂ from breathing. Sealing windows alone helps briefly but traps CO₂ overnight. Jaipur installs are opening in 2026 — site surveys are booking now.
What Jaipur could look like
Hawa Mahal in pink stone, Nahargarh Fort sharp on the ridge above, families walking the bazaar without masks, AQI 19 instead of 190. aqi0 is the indoor half of that future, working today.
