- 23% of Dust in Pune Comes from Construction Sites
Officials confirmed that nearly one-fourth of Pune’s PM pollution is from construction activity — making AQMS mandatory for all medium-to-large sites. - PMC + PCMC SOP for AQMS Is Underway
The CII team shared that city-specific AQMS SOPs are in draft mode. These will include device placement, display mandates, and data sharing protocols. - Builders Are Using AQMS to Study Dust Behavior
Innovative developers showcased how real-time dust data helps them optimize water spraying and adjust work schedules for pollution control. - Affordable AQMS for Small Sites is a Priority
Participants advocated for tiered compliance models so smaller developers can deploy AQMS without cost barriers — possibly via leasing or shared systems. - Warning: Fake AQMS Installations Are Failing
- Systems switched off after NOC approval
- Indoor or tampered sensors
- No dashboard access for PMC
- Unresponsive vendors post-sale
- LED Display Boards Are Now Mandatory
Per MPCB and BMC EOI, every AQMS must display data on a 3x4 ft LED screen visible from outside the site. Public visibility = Legal compliance. - Sathi AQMS Leads the Charge in Pune
Sai Gade presented how Sathi AQMS:- Aligns with BMC EOI specs
- Is field-tested in Mumbai & Pune
- Supports cloud dashboard, SOP training, and certified hardware
- Is ready for mass deployment in both small and large projects
- Builders & Project Consultants
- Civic Officials & Health Departments
