How is Bilaspur's AQI calculated?
The Air Quality Index combines PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, SO₂, CO and O₃ readings from CPCB-monitored stations into one 0–500 score, using whichever pollutant reads worst as the overall number rather than an average of all of them. Today the dominant pollutant driving that number in Bilaspur is CO. Bilaspur's current AQI of 394 falls in the "Very Poor" band (301–400).
Is Bilaspur's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Bilaspur is at Very Poor today (AQI 394). Avoid outdoor exertion. Wear a mask outside; sensitive groups should stay indoors.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Bilaspur?
Petrol is ₹108.76/L, diesel ₹102.02/L, for Bilaspur. Fuel prices are revised daily and can vary slightly by station. The base crude and refinery cost is the same nationwide - state VAT and cess are what make petrol cheaper or pricier just across a state line.
Why does Bilaspur's gold price match the national rate?

What is Rahu Kalam in Bilaspur today?

Why Check Bilaspur's Weather and AQI?
Bilaspur is headquarters to South East Central Railway, one of Indian Railways' major zonal divisions, and sits amid a cluster of large thermal power plants that supply electricity well beyond Chhattisgarh's borders. Rail logistics and power-plant coal supply are both directly exposed to monsoon disruption in this part of central India.
Railway Hub and Power Generation Impact
Freight movement through Bilaspur's rail division - much of it coal bound for the surrounding power plants - slows during heavy monsoon flooding of the tracks, a disruption that ripples through electricity supply across the region it serves. Track Bilaspur weather for rail and power-logistics planning during the monsoon.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - Bilaspur's most comfortable months.
Mar-Jun: Extreme Heat - Highs regularly exceed 43°C.
Jul-Sep: Monsoon - Check Bilaspur AQI, which power-plant activity keeps elevated year-round.
Data Methodology
