What was the primary purpose of the cloud seeding trials conducted in Delhi on October 29, 2025?
To reduce air pollution by enhancing rainfall and settling particulate matterThe cloud seeding trials were primarily aimed at mitigating Delhi’s severe air pollution by artificially inducing rainfall to help settle airborne particulate matter like PM2.5 and PM10. Despite suboptimal humidity levels (10–20%), the government reported post-seeding reductions in pollutant concentrations at several locations. The initiative was part of a scientific collaboration with IIT Kanpur under a MoU signed on September 25, 2025, to conduct five such trials. Officials emphasized that the data would guide future anti-pollution strategies during the winter months. The technique involved dispersing chemical flares containing nucleating agents from aircraft over targeted areas in northwest Delhi.
