Delhi Government to Roll out National Cloud Seeding Experiment
25 June 2025 | ZEROGeoengineering.com | Marketed as “pollution mitigation,” Delhi’s artificial rain-making scheme is essentially trying to “fight pollution” by adding chemical pollution. Notably in December 2024, the cloud seeding plan was rejected due to questions regarding “uncertainties, efficacy, and potential adverse effects of the chemicals.”
Cloud seeding agents are reported to be “a scientifically formulated combination of silver iodide nanoparticles, iodised salt and rock salt,” deployed by Cessna aircraft. Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa is a leading proponent of the plan. He said of the project, “We are not just fighting pollution — we are building a blueprint for the future. This is a national-first experiment rooted in science, executed with military-grade precision and evaluated in real time.” Source
Meanwhile, Indonesia has been USING CLOUD SEEDING TO TRY TO STOP heavy rains that have caused severe flooding.
“Indonesian authorities are using cloud seeding to mitigate heavy rainfall that has caused severe flooding in the capital, Jakarta, and its surrounding areas, killing at least one person and displacing thousands…
…Cloud seeding, a technique that involves releasing salt or other chemicals into clouds to trigger rain, aims to steer rainfall away from flood-hit areas or limit the formation of heavier downpours.”
