To address the multiscale air pollution challenges across India with faster and more accessible tools, a multi-institutional consortium comprising CSTEP, UC Berkeley, and the University of Washington, and led by IIT Bombay is developing a new modelling platform known as PAVITRA-InMAP.
This platform will also serve as the foundation for the PAVITRA Dashboard, which will provide estimates of the impact of various emission control measures on PM₂.₅ concentrations and the associated health outcomes. Unlike traditional air quality models, this platform is designed to be computationally lightweight, capable of running on a web interface or standard desktop computers, while still delivering scientifically robust insights at fine spatial resolutions.
The project is expected to conclude in the second half of 2026, with the official launch of both PAVITRA-InMAP and the PAVITRA Dashboard planned for early 2026.
