Delhi's air quality has remained in the very poor category for 14 consecutive days. Most monitoring stations report similar levels, with no immediate relief in sight. Toxic haze is set to persist due to unfavorable weather and low wind speeds.
Delhi's air pollution crisis continues unabated, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) classified as very poor for the 14th straight day as of November 27, 2025. Data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) indicates that the majority of the city's monitoring stations are recording AQI values in the very poor range, signaling ongoing health risks for residents.
The persistence of toxic haze is attributed to stagnant weather conditions and low wind speeds, which trap pollutants in the atmosphere. As winter chill sets in, with dropping temperatures, there is little expectation of natural dispersion of the smog. The pollution body has forecasted that these conditions will likely continue, exacerbating the situation in the Delhi-NCR region.
Keywords associated with the issue include GRAP curbs, air pollution forecasts, and cold temperatures in Delhi. No specific quotes from officials were provided in the reports, but the overall narrative underscores the annual challenge of winter pollution in the capital.
