How is Korba'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 Korba is CO. Korba's current AQI of 324 falls in the "Very Poor" band (301–400).
Is Korba's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Korba is at Very Poor today (AQI 324). Avoid outdoor exertion. Wear a mask outside; sensitive groups should stay indoors.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Korba?
Petrol is ₹107.74/L, diesel ₹101.01/L, for Korba. 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 Korba's gold price match the national rate?

With a population of 1,206,640, rice cultivation and forest-linked livelihoods remains a significant part of the local economy here, as in most of Chhattisgarh, which makes seasonal rainfall timing a genuine practical concern for a large share of residents - not just a forecast curiosity.
