Mumbai construction sites adopt sensor-based dust monitoring for regulatory compliance

Synopsis

Mumbai has enforced stricter regulations on construction dust pollution, requiring real-time air quality monitoring and LED displays at all construction sites. Oizom's BMC-approved AQBot PM system enables contractors to monitor PM2.5 and PM10 efficiently, even under harsh conditions. With automation to trigger dust suppression systems, real-time data integration with BMC's Command Center, and pre-calibrated units verified by NABL-accredited labs, AQBot PM helps over 100 construction groups stay compliant. Adoption is growing rapidly, reflecting a shift toward technology-driven environmental monitoring in India's construction sector.

Construction dust is receiving increased attention in Mumbai, leading authorities to tighten monitoring and compliance measures. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) now mandates sensor-based air quality monitors and real-time LED displays at every construction site to ensure transparency and public safety. Contractors are required to adopt solutions that meet these regulations without disrupting operations.


Oizom's AQBot PM, a BMC-approved system, is designed to meet these requirements effectively. It provides real-time monitoring of PM2.5 and PM10 levels, even in rugged, high-dust construction environments. Data from the sensors is connected to the BMC's Command and Control Center and displayed on on-site LED screens, helping teams maintain compliance and keep stakeholders informed.

A notable feature of AQBot PM is its automation capability. Built-in relay outputs allow the system to automatically activate dust suppression equipment whenever pollution levels exceed safe limits. This proactive approach ensures immediate corrective action, reducing risks associated with non-compliance and maintaining safe working conditions without requiring constant manual intervention.

The solution has already been deployed at more than 300 sites across India and is used by over 100 construction groups, including ready-mix concrete plants, quarries, and major construction projects. Its adoption is increasing rapidly in Mumbai following the BMC mandate, reflecting a wider industry trend toward smart environmental monitoring technologies.

Technically, AQBot PM uses laser-based OPC technology to deliver fast and accurate readings. Each unit features 16GB of onboard memory and multi-protocol connectivity. Its core software, Envizom, provides interactive dashboards, historical trends, real-time alerts, and compliance-ready reports, all accessible in one platform.

Samarpit Garg, VP of Sales at Oizom, emphasized that AQBot PM not only measures air quality but also ensures safe, compliant, and uninterrupted work at construction sites. Each device is pre-calibrated at Oizom's facility and verified by ATIRA, a NABL-accredited laboratory under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards. This third-party validation ensures that the units are ready for plug-and-play installation and compliant from day one.
