What the source verifies
- Issue
- The cited release reports annual-average PM10 for Mumbai against a stated 2017–18 baseline.
- Documented action
- A MoEFCC press release dated 23 March 2023 published Mumbai’s PM10 result for financial year 2021–22.
- Stated goal
- The same release described a programme goal of up to 40% PM10 reduction or achievement of the national standard by 2025–26 for target cities.
- What the source verifies
- The dated PIB release gives a city annual-average PM10 value and comparison with its named baseline. This entry is limited to that government-reported record.
- Reported results
- MoEFCC reported Mumbai PM10 at 102 µg/m³ in FY 2021–22 and a 34% improvement against the FY 2017–18 baseline. This is a PM10 concentration comparison, not a city AQI reading; this record does not adjust for weather or show that a specific policy caused the change.
- What to check next
- A later comparison needs a primary source with the same pollutant, annual definition, units and baseline. The Observatory does not extend this one result into a current trend.
