How is Rishikesh's AQI calculated?
The Air Quality Index combines PM2.5, PM10, NOโ, SOโ, CO and Oโ readings from CPCB-monitored stations into one 0โ500 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 Rishikesh is OZONE. Rishikesh's current AQI of 34 falls in the "Good" band (0โ50).
Is Rishikesh's air quality safe today?
Yes - Rishikesh's AQI of 34 is in the "Good" range, CPCB's safest bands, with no outdoor activity restrictions.

Petrol is โน99.54/L, diesel โน95.05/L, for Uttarakhand (no city-level station for Rishikesh yet). Fuel prices are revised daily and can vary slightly by station.
