The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has contracted Invia India Private Limited to deploy the units, which will augment the existing network of 28 stations. The installation deal includes a three-year warranty backed by a subsequent five-year maintenance plan to ensure long-term functionality. Along with tracking ambient air pollutants every hour, the new stations will capture critical meteorological parameters including temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction.

MUMBAI: The
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will set up five additional continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations (CAQMS) across Mumbai at a cost of Rs 17.50 crore.
The five monitoring stations will be set up at CD Deshmukh Garden in Mulund (East), Pramod Mahajan Park in Borivali (West), Aarey Garden's Chhota Kashmir in Goregaon (East), Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Recreation Ground in Dahisar (East), and the BMC assistant municipal commissioner's office in Khar (H-West ward).
The proposed stations will monitor various air pollutants on an hourly basis and measure meteorological parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction.
The data is proposed to be made available on the BMC portal, which will be linked to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) server.
Mumbai currently has 28 air quality monitoring stations.
The civic body said the five new stations would be located in areas not already covered by monitoring networks operated by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), BMC and the SAFAR-Mumbai project.
The project will include a three-year warranty and five years of subsequent maintenance. The BMC has selected…
Addressing international delegates in Antalya, the Turkish leader linked environmental destruction directly to armed conflict while demanding unhindered humanitarian access for displaced populations. He also called on wealthy, industrialized countries to fulfill lagging financial pledges to help vulnerable regions confront severe global warming. These remarks set an urgent tone as nearly 200 nations gather to negotiate clean energy targets amidst escalating geopolitical tensions.
Global emissions reached historic highs in 2025 as consecutive record-breaking temperatures push the planet past the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree warming threshold. The gathering in Antalya faces significant diplomatic hurdles, with most major industrialized powers failing to send top leadership despite worsening international weather catastrophes. Meanwhile, regional conflicts disrupting global petroleum supplies continue to underscore the broader economic risks tied directly to hydrocarbon dependence.
An exceptionally strong polar vortex trapped frigid air over Antarctica, driving the seasonal ozone depletion to its seventh-largest extent in 48 years of monitoring. Scientists from NASA and NOAA confirmed that unusual meteorological conditions, rather than a resurgence in banned pollutants, caused the temporary surge. Decades of global restrictions on harmful chemicals continue to mitigate the severity, leaving the stratospheric shield on track to recover later this century.
