The world just validated EMSOL’s approach.
In Mumbai, 2,000 construction sites are scrambling. Following a Bombay High Court directive, the city’s civic body has mandated real-time air quality monitoring across all construction sites, with non-compliance resulting in project suspensions, stop-work notices, and complete site shutdowns. Only 40% currently comply.
This isn’t just another regulatory headache in a distant market. This is proof that what EMSOL pioneered in London is becoming the global standard.
London Already Cracked This Code
While Mumbai plays catch-up, London construction sites have been living this reality for years. Under IAQM guidance, medium-risk projects in London and other urban areas already require continuous particulate monitoring (PM10/PM2.5), with some councils demanding up to three months of baseline monitoring before construction even begins.
The difference? London’s approach evolved incrementally. Mumbai is implementing it all at once.
London’s supplementary planning guidance specifically targets PM10 and PM2.5 from construction activities, with strict protocols depending on risk categorisation. What took years to establish in the UK is now being demanded overnight in one of the world’s fastest-growing construction markets.
EMSOL already speaks this language fluently.
The Numbers Tell the Real Story
Mumbai represents more than a new story of construction compliance. It signals massive opportunity.
India’s construction market sits at $884.72 billion today, projected to hit $2.13 trillion by 2030. The country was set to become the world’s third-largest construction market by 2025. Mumbai alone houses 2,000 active sites with a 60% compliance gap that needs filling immediately.
But Mumbai isn’t operating in isolation. India’s National Clean Air Programme is driving similar monitoring requirements across major Indian cities, creating a cascade effect that multiplies this opportunity exponentially.
The regulatory wave that started in London is breaking across Asia.
Why EMSOL Wins This Race
Most monitoring companies are still building solutions for problems EMSOL solved years ago.
EMSOL’s platform provides real-time PM10 dust monitoring with instantaneous alerts when levels exceed customisable thresholds, combined with video analytics that automatically pinpoint dust sources. This isn’t theoretical capability. It’s proven technology already deployed across UK construction sites following IAQM best practices.
EMSOL understands regulatory compliance as a business process, not just a technical requirement. Their platform doesn’t just measure dust levels – it identifies sources, enables immediate action, and provides the documentation trail regulators demand.
So for those looking for solutions, wrangling with Mumbai’s new requirements, EMSOL has the answer ready to deploy.
EMSOL’s construction air quality monitoring platform is already deployed across global sites following IAQM guidance. Ready to discuss how this applies to your international operations? Get in touch to explore your monitoring requirements.
