How is Ahmedabad'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 Ahmedabad is CO. Ahmedabad's current AQI of 494 falls in the "Severe" band (400+).
Is Ahmedabad's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Ahmedabad is at Severe today (AQI 494). Avoid all outdoor activity. This level affects even healthy people.

Bhindi(Ladies Finger) has risen 0.0% at Ahmedabad's mandi in the latest reporting cycle - the biggest mover among commodities tracked there right now. Mandi (wholesale) prices update daily from Government of India data.gov.in reports.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Ahmedabad?
Petrol is ₹101.83/L, diesel ₹97.92/L, for Ahmedabad. 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 Ahmedabad's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Ahmedabad's price tracks the same international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate as everywhere else in India.

What is Rahu Kalam in Ahmedabad today?
Rahu Kalam in Ahmedabad today runs from 8:56 AM to 10:22 AM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Ahmedabad's Weather and AQI?
Ahmedabad is Gujarat's largest city and its historic industrial and financial hub, once nicknamed the 'Manchester of India' for its textile mills, and its walled old city was designated India's first UNESCO World Heritage City in 2017. With a metro population over 7 million, it also holds a less celebrated distinction: after a deadly 2010 heat wave, Ahmedabad built India's first city Heat Action Plan, a model since adopted by other Indian cities.
Extreme Heat and Industrial Impact
Ahmedabad's hot semi-arid climate regularly pushes summer highs past 43-45°C, and the city's heat-alert system now triggers public advisories, adjusted municipal work hours and hospital preparedness at defined temperature thresholds - a direct, practical reason to track the forecast here. Its textile, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing base also runs large outdoor logistics operations affected by both extreme heat and monsoon disruption. Track Ahmedabad weather for heat-alert planning through April and May.
Seasonal Guide
Nov-Feb: Cooler, Drier Season - Ahmedabad's most comfortable months.
Mar-Jun: Extreme Heat - Regularly 43-45°C+ by May; the period the city's heat action plan specifically targets.
Jun-Sep: Monsoon - Typically arrives by mid-to-late June; check Ahmedabad AQI as dust levels climb again in the dry months either side of it.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Gujarat weather and AQI for how Ahmedabad compares with other cities in the state.
