India NCAP – Urban Built-up Area Shares (GHS)

NCAP Airshed Urban Built-up AreaUpdated: March, 2023

131 NCAP non-attainment cities are grouped into 104 airsheds. Of these airsheds, 73 contain only one city; 18 contain two cities, and nine contain three cities. Four airsheds – Delhi, Mumbai, Indore, and Chandigarh contain 10, 8, 5, and 5 cities respectively. An additional 33 cities, not on the NCAP list are also part of these airsheds.

The table below presents the percentage of 0.01 degree grids designated as urban based on the built-up area shares. For convenience, only the years 1975, 1990, 2005, and 2020 are listed in the table. The CSV file contains grid-wise fraction of built-up area for years 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 (midlong and midlat in the file represents the mid-point of 0.01 degree grids in the airshed). Details of the airshed grid are available here.  The built-up area layers are extracted from ESA’s Global Human Settlements program.

Download a composite of all 104 airsheds: here for 1990 and here for 2020.

Individual composites and animations (for 10 years) can be download from the table below.
