Machine-learning air pollution prediction studies are widespread worldwide. This study examines the use of machine learning to predict air pollution, its current state, and its expected growth in India. Scopus was used to search 326 documents by 984 academics published in 231 journals between 2007 and 2023. Biblioshiny and Vosviewer were used to discover and visualise prominent authors, journals, research papers, and trends on these issues. In 2018, interest in this topic began to grow at a rate of 32.1 percent every year. Atmospheric Environment (263 citations), Procedia Computer Science (251), Atmospheric Pollution Research (233) and Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health (93 citations) are the top four sources, according to the Total Citation Index. These journals are among those leading studies on using machine learning to forecast air pollution. Jadavpur University (12 articles) and IIT Delhi (10 articles) are the most esteemed institutions. Singh Kp's 2013 "Atmospheric Environment" article tops the list with 134 citations. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Department of Science and Technology are top Indian funding agency receive five units apiece, demonstrating their commitment to technology. The authors' keyword co-occurrence network mappings suggest that machine learning (127 occurrences), air pollution (78 occurrences), and air quality index (41) are the most frequent keywords. This study predicts air pollution using machine learning. These terms largely mirror our Scopus database searches for "machine learning," "air pollution," and "air quality," showing that these are among the most often discussed issues in machine learning research on air pollution prediction. This study helps academics, professionals, and global policymakers understand "air pollution prediction using machine learning" research and recommend key areas for further research.
