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 419 falls in the "Severe" band (400+).
Is Korba's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Korba is at Severe today (AQI 419). Avoid all outdoor activity. This level affects even healthy people.
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?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Korba's price tracks the same international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate as everywhere else in India.
Are banks open in Korba today?
Yes - banks in Chhattisgarh are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Korba today?

Why Check Korba's Weather and AQI?
Korba is a district in Chhattisgarh, part of central India's rice belt. 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.
