Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is hoping to combat pollution in the city with rain induced by cloud seeding. Rain has the capacity to wash down pollutants in the air as air quality improves during the monsoon and was also seen during the unseasonal rain last week. 

BMC has invited a Global Expression of Interest (EOI) for cloud seeding for a period of three years. This experiment will be done when the pollution index rises to alarming levels.
