Udupi Records Decreasing Air Quality Index Amidst India’s Pollution Surge

Udupi’s air quality index (AQI) has slipped to 63, a moderate rating, according to IQAir data released today.

IQAir’s analysis places the city within India’s overall trend of improving yet still elevated pollution levels, tracing higher concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) to vehicular traffic, industrial emissions and seasonal crop burning.

While the drop has relieved some health concerns for residents, local authorities urge caution as the AQI still poses risks for vulnerable groups. The data, sourced from Google News – Udupi, underscores the need for sustained pollution‑control measures across the district.
