flag India tested cloud seeding near Delhi to fight winter smog, aiming to trigger rain and reduce deadly air pollution.

flag India conducted its first cloud seeding trial over Delhi to combat severe winter smog, using an aircraft to disperse chemicals into clouds in hopes of inducing rainfall and reducing hazardous air pollution. flag The test, aimed at evaluating the technology’s effectiveness, comes as Delhi faces persistent high levels of PM2.5, often exceeding WHO guidelines by over tenfold. flag While cloud seeding has been used in other countries for drought and wildfire mitigation, its ability to significantly improve urban air quality remains uncertain, with experts stressing it does not address pollution sources like vehicles, industry, or crop burning. flag Officials are assessing the method’s potential, but scientists caution it is not a long-term solution and must be paired with stronger regulations and emissions controls.
