Low Cost PM Sensor for Dust Portal — Affordable PM2.5 / PM10 Monitoring
Smaller sites registered on a dust portal still need to show they are watching particulate levels — but not every plot justifies a reference-grade analyser. We install low cost PM sensors that report PM2.5 and PM10 to a live dashboard at a fraction of the capital cost, with honest advice on where a budget unit is appropriate and where the portal will expect a CPCB-listed monitor.
Dust portals across Delhi, Haryana, UP and Rajasthan ask registered sites to demonstrate active dust management. A well-sited low cost optical PM sensor, corrected against a reference instrument, gives a smaller project genuinely useful PM2.5 and PM10 trend data plus a documented dust-performance trail for the compliance file — without the capital outlay of a listed continuous analyser.
We are direct about the limit of the instrument. A low cost sensor is a dust-management tool and supporting evidence; where your site category and plot area mean the portal expects a CPCB-listed continuous ambient monitor, we say so and quote the listed analyser rather than selling the cheaper box twice.
Installation discipline is identical either way: mounting three to four metres above ground, clear of anti-smog gun spray and truck exhaust, weatherproof enclosure, surge protection, dual-operator SIM connectivity and an anti-theft cage. Readings land on a dashboard your site engineer and our monitoring desk both watch, so a dust spike triggers sprinkling and smog-gun action the same hour.
Monthly rental keeps the cost in project overheads rather than capital expenditure, and the same units pair naturally with green nets, wheel-wash pits and a correctly sized anti-smog gun for a complete dust portal compliance file.

Frequently asked
Is a low cost PM sensor enough for dust portal compliance?
It is strong dust-management evidence, but where your site category and plot area require a CPCB-listed continuous monitor, that listed instrument is what the portal expects. We assess the plot and tell you plainly which one applies.
What does a low cost PM sensor cost?
Far less than a reference-grade analyser, and it can be rented monthly. We share an itemised quote after a free site visit.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Delhi NCR plus the Haryana, UP and Rajasthan NCR districts — Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Bhiwadi, Neemrana and beyond, usually with a site visit inside 48 hours.
