Jan 27, 2026: ‘Very poor’ AQI outside Hauz Khas metro station, but govt data says otherwise

For today’s episode of Aaj Ka AQI, we stood outside Hauz Khas metro station, one of the city’s busiest commuter points with heavy passenger footfall.

The nearest official DPCC monitoring station at Aurobindo Marg recorded an AQI of 190, placing it in the ‘moderate’ category. Our independent air quality monitor, however, recorded an AQI of 376, placing it in the ‘very poor’ category.
