Delhi's NO2 levels 3 times the safe limit at hot spots

Hindustan Times Gurugram

November 08, 2025

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels in Delhi have surged to nearly three times the national safe limit across several locations since November 1, adding a dangerous new layer to the Capital's air pollution crisis even as PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations stayed in the "severe" range on Friday.

- Jasjeev Gandhiok

According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) analysed by the think tank Envirocatalysts, the hourly NO2 concentration peaked at 240µg/m3 at the IGI Airport (T3) station under the India Meteorological Department. This is three times the CPCB's safe standard of 80µg/m3 and almost 10 times the World Health Organisation's limit of 25ug/m3.

Other major hotspots recorded similar spikes. ITO, one of Delhi's busiest intersections, logged 221ug/m3, while Delhi University's North Campus touched 210ug/m3. Lodhi Road (18lug/m3), Mundka (178ug/m3) and JLN Stadium also reported elevated readings.

India played key role in shaping COP30 outcome

The establishment of a two-year work programme on the Paris Agreement’s Article 9.1, which mandates that developed countries provide resources to developing nations for climate action, was a significant outcome atthe 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil's Belém. Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav, who led India’s delegation at COP30, said this re-anchors the global climate finance debate in terms of the actual legal obligations of developed nations under the agreement. In an interview with HT, Yadav said he believed that COP30 has restored faith in multilateralism with developing countries seeing a structured process capable of holding developed nations accountable for the first time in years.
