Main points on cloud seeding conducted on 23-10-2025 Firstly, we acknowledge the leadership of the Delhi Government's Environment Minister and his team in facilitating the clearances for cloud seeding. The flight plan was filed for the following area. The starting point was the IIT Kanpur airstrip, as visibility conditions were not met at the Meerut runway, which is an uncontrolled runway. The route is as follows. 1. Starting point: IIT Kanpur 2. WP-1: Meerut airfield 3. WP-2: Khekra 4. WP-3: Burari 5. WP-4: Sadakpur 6. WP-5: Bhojpur 7. WP-6: Aligarh 8. Ending point: IIT Kanpur The forecast provided by Hindon was as follows. Forecast for tomorrow (23Oct) from 1000h to 1600h 1. Visibility: 1-2 Km BECMG (1300h) 3-4 Km 2. Cloud type, amount, and base: Sky Clear OCNL (AN) Few SC 030 The cloud condition reported by the Windy professional website for the day is as follows. It can be seen that cloud cover from 11 AM to 5 PM over the Delhi area was negligible (around 0%). 1. 23 Aug 2025, 11 AM 2. 23 Aug 2025, 1 PM 3. 23 Aug 2025, 2 PM 4. 23 Aug 2025, 3 PM 5. 23 Aug 2025, 4 PM 6. 23 Aug 2025, 5 PM Summary of the flight based on the report from the pilots. • The entire flight from the IIT Kanpur airstrip took approximately four hours, which includes the travel time and the seeding time. • The pilots reported clear skies around the New Delhi area, and two very small patches of clouds were observed. They seeded the clouds with individual flares. • The flare deployment occurred at Khekra and Burari. • Part of the original flight plan that involved Karol Bagh and Mayur Vihar, which were avoided at the last minute due to VIP-89 criteria and also on the advice of Delhi ATC. Based on the Data reported by the professional services of Windy, the AQI data for two locations are as follows. Burari 1:30 PM – Reported AQI is 208 Burari 5:30 PM The data provided shows a dip in the AQI. However, we do not have any conclusive evidence to make any claim. Similarly, the RWIS station from Shalimar Bagh data is provided, just for reference. Shalimar Bagh 3PM, AQI is 200 Shalimar Bagh 4 PM, AQI is 163. There is no evidence of any precipitation as the clouds were very minimal and the moisture content was well below 15%. Conclusion: Today's seeding flight was from IIT Kanpur to the Delhi area via Meerut, Khekra, Burari, Sadakpur, Bhojpur, Aligarh, and back to IIT Kanpur, in which cloud seeding flares were fired between Khekra and Burari. This flight was the proving flight for checking the capabilities for cloud seeding, the readiness and endurance of the aircraft, the capability assessment of the cloud seeding fitments and flares, and coordination among all involved agencies.
