This special report focuses on Delhi’s ambitious cloud seeding experiment to combat air pollution, featuring an exclusive interview with IIT Kanpur Director Manindra Agarwal. Agarwal provides a crucial reality check, stating, ‘cloud seeding is not a solution to the problem of pollution. It is an SOS measure’. The interview delves into why the initial attempt failed to produce rain due to low moisture, the decision to pause the trial, and plans for the winter. Agarwal addresses the project’s potential ₹25-30 crore seasonal cost, its limited impact on AQI, and confirms the materials used pose no health risk. He also recounts the project’s origins, the development of indigenous technology, and the challenge of securing permissions, crediting political leadership for enabling the current scientific trials.
