How is Indore'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 Indore is CO. Indore's current AQI of 488 falls in the "Severe" band (400+).
Is Indore's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Indore is at Severe today (AQI 488). Avoid all outdoor activity. This level affects even healthy people.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Indore?
Petrol is ₹114.61/L, diesel ₹99.70/L, for Indore. 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 Indore's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Indore'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 Indore today?
Yes - banks in Madhya Pradesh are open today. Next closure: Sunday, 18 Oct.
What is Rahu Kalam in Indore today?
Rahu Kalam in Indore today runs from 9:09 AM to 10:35 AM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Indore's Weather and AQI?
Indore is Madhya Pradesh's largest city and its commercial hub, built on a large grain and oilseed trading mandi alongside pharmaceutical and auto-component manufacturing. The city has also repeatedly topped India's Swachh Survekshan cleanliness rankings, which keeps air quality more directly in the public conversation here than in most Indian cities of its size.
Mandi Trade and Manufacturing Impact
Indore's grain mandi is one of central India's largest, and open-air trading and storage are directly exposed to unseasonal rain, which can spoil stored grain and oilseed stock and disrupt the daily trading cycle. The city's pharmaceutical and auto-component plants are less weather-sensitive day to day, but summer heat and pre-monsoon dust both affect outdoor logistics and loading schedules. Track Indore weather around the monsoon transition, when mandi trading volumes are most exposed.
Seasonal Guide
Oct-Feb: Cool, Dry Season - The most comfortable stretch for outdoor trade and travel; generally Indore's best AQI readings of the year given lower dust and construction activity.
Mar-Jun: Pre-Monsoon Heat - Daytime highs regularly reach the low-to-mid 40s°C by May; dust levels rise ahead of the monsoon. Check Indore AQI during this stretch.
Jul-Sep: Monsoon - Central India's monsoon typically arrives in late June to early July; unseasonal late-monsoon showers in September are the biggest risk to stored mandi grain.
Data Methodology
Weather and AQI figures are drawn from public government monitoring sources and refreshed regularly. See Madhya Pradesh weather and AQI for how Indore compares with other cities in the state.
