Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Agartala grew from about 14,100 hectares to 14,700 hectares, a net gain of about 577 hectares (+4.1%). New forest grew on about 1,190 hectares, while 611 hectares were lost.
These 2000 and 2020 maps, from the University of Maryland, count any land with trees taller than 5 m as forest, including plantations and orchards. Forest that was cut or burned and had grown back by 2020 counts in both years, so the loss here is smaller than the yearly figures.
These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

Frequently asked
Questions about Agartala
What is the air quality (AQI) in Agartala right now?
The latest reading for Agartala shows an AQI of 29 (Good), observed Nov 11, 14:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 3 ground-station cities within 85 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Agartala today?
At AQI 29 (Good): a good day to be active outside. Windows: open them to air the house. Masks: not needed. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Agartala been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Agartala's daily AQI at 121 on average, from 61 on Nov 11 to an hourly peak of 193 on Nov 7. On 6 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Agartala's AQI the same as India's AQI (CPCB)?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) publishes the National Air Quality Index on its own scale: 0–50 good, 51–100 satisfactory, 101–200 moderate, 201–300 poor, 301–400 very poor and 401–500 severe. The two scales don't line up. At moderate fine-particle levels the US scale reads higher: 55 µg/m³ of PM2.5 is 149 on the US AQI but about 92, "satisfactory", on India's. In heavy smog India's reads higher: 100 µg/m³ is 182 on the US AQI and about 232, "poor", on India's. CPCB also averages particles over 24 hours, so its figure moves more slowly than an hourly reading.
How much forest has the area around Agartala lost since 2001?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Agartala has lost about 632 hectares of forest (about 890 football pitches): 11% of the forest it had in 2000. Most of it (97%) was deforestation, forest cleared for good, mainly for farms, pasture and plantations. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Agartala grew from about 14,100 hectares to 14,700 hectares, a net gain of about 577 hectares (+4.1%). New forest grew on about 1,190 hectares, while 611 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Agartala?
Agartala has an estimated 86,048 trees across the 12.52 km² of land measured — 27.5% tree cover, 2 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Agartala need?
Agartala needs roughly 7,823 more trees to close a 2-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 172.1 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Agartala's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality comes from ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ where one reports nearby, and otherwise, as here, from the Open-Meteo / CAMS model, which may differ from street-level monitors. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Banerjee Para; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
