How is Rajkot'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 Rajkot is PM2.5. Rajkot's current AQI of 200 falls in the "Moderate" band (101–200).
Is Rajkot's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Rajkot is at Moderate today (AQI 200). Sensitive groups (children, elderly, asthma/heart conditions) should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Rajkot?
Petrol is ₹115.01/L, diesel ₹100.10/L, for Rajkot. 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 Rajkot's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Rajkot'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 Rajkot today?
No - banks in Gujarat are closed today (Sunday).
What is Rahu Kalam in Rajkot today?
Rahu Kalam in Rajkot today runs from 3:59 PM to 5:25 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Rajkot's Weather and AQI?
Rajkot is a major hub for small-scale engineering and machine-parts manufacturing, particularly diesel engines and auto components, and is closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi, who spent part of his childhood in the city. Its cluster of small and mid-sized manufacturing units depends on predictable logistics windows that monsoon disruption affects directly.
Engineering Manufacturing Impact
Rajkot's dense network of machine-parts and casting units ships components on tight schedules to auto manufacturers elsewhere in Gujarat and beyond, making road-transport disruption from heavy rain a genuine cost, not an inconvenience. Track Rajkot weather for logistics planning around the monsoon.
Seasonal Guide
Nov-Feb: Cooler, Drier Season - Rajkot's most comfortable months.
Mar-Jun: Extreme Heat - Regularly 42-44°C+ by May.
Jun-Sep: Monsoon - Check Rajkot AQI as dust levels rise 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 Rajkot compares with other cities in the state.
