Ethiopia volcano ash drifts over India: IMD issues key update

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has confirmed that ash clouds from Ethiopia’s rare volcanic eruption are now expected to drift away from India and move towards China by 7:30 pm Tuesday. The massive plume, originating from the Hayli Gubbi volcano—which erupted after 12,000 years—rose nearly 14 km high and travelled across the Red Sea, Yemen, Oman, and the Arabian Sea before entering Indian skies.

The ash cloud passed over Gujarat, Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana, leading to temporary flight disruptions and aviation advisories. Officials clarified that the plume remained at mid-atmospheric levels, ensuring no major impact on air quality on the ground. IndiaMetSky Weather reported that the cloud carried mainly sulphur dioxide with low to moderate ash content, and AQI levels were unlikely to be affected.

Flights may still face minor delays, and isolated ash particles could settle at ground level as monitoring continues. Updates will follow as the plume moves out of Indian airspace and towards China.
