Rapid deployment of an NMMC approved real-time AQI monitoring system without disrupting construction timelines

Introduction

With rising concerns around construction-driven particulate pollution, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) made real-time air quality monitoring compulsory for all active construction sites in Navi Mumbai. Developers must continuously track PM2.5, PM10, temperature, and humidity, install public LED AQI display boards, and provide centralized data access to regulators. Non-compliance can result in penalties or temporary site shutdowns.

To align with these requirements, Sunview Homes pursued a trusted, NMMC-approved monitoring solution that could be implemented swiftly, ensuring complete compliance while keeping construction activities on schedule.
