Overview

• The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has approved 15 low-cost air quality sensor models for mandatory installation at all Mumbai construction sites.
• This initiative follows a Bombay High Court directive requiring sensors to be installed within six weeks, by the second week of June 2025, or face site shutdowns.
• Developers will be informed of approved sensor models via the AutoDCR portal and must install on-site display boards showing real-time air quality readings.
• The BMC plans to establish an online dashboard within three months to display sensor data, enabling targeted enforcement and public transparency.
• A one-month extension of the court-mandated deadline will be sought to ensure comprehensive implementation and compliance across the city.
