The volcanic ash plume from Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi eruption, mostly composed of sulphur dioxide with low to moderate concentrations of volcanic ash, is now stretching from the Oman-Arabian Sea region into the plains of North and Central India. While the plume is not expected to impact surface-level air quality or Delhi’s AQI, it may affect SO₂ levels in the hills of Nepal, the Himalayas, and the adjoining Terai belt of Uttar Pradesh, as some material is likely to collide with these regions before drifting into China. Low chances of ashfall exist over the plains, but the primary effects will remain at mid-atmospheric levels, potentially causing minor flight delays and route adjustments.

Ethiopian volcanic ash: An ash cloud from Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano has entered western India over Rajasthan, Gujarat on Monday evening and is now moving across several northern states. It is expected to reach northwest Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab by Tuesday evening and later impact the Himalayas and other regions. The ash cloud is from Hayli Gubbi volcano in northern Ethiopia’s Afar Region that erupted for the first time in at least 12,000 years on Sunday morning, according to Volcano Discovery.
Ethiopia Volcano Eruption: Flight operations across India and West Asia were significantly disrupted on Monday night after the long-dormant Hayli Gubbi volcano in northern Ethiopia erupted on Sunday. The volcano erupted for the first time in over 12,000 years. As a result, a massive cloud of volcanic ash, carried by high-altitude winds, was seen drifting over Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi-NCR, and Punjab.
A massive ash cloud from Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano—now erupting for the first time in thousands of years—is expected to reach northwest India by Monday night, meteorologists have warned. This marks the volcano’s first known eruption in nearly 10,000 years, a rare geological event that scientists describe as one of the region’s most remarkable volcanic reawakenings. What exactly is behind this eruption, and how will it affect Indian skies and residents?
A massive cloud of volcanic ash, carried by high-altitude winds from an eruption in Ethiopia, swept across large parts of Northwest India on Monday night. It was seen moving over Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi-NCR and Punjab, significantly reducing visibility and disrupting air traffic as it continued its eastward journey across the subcontinent. In view of the drifting ash clouds, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a safety advisory to all airlines, directing them to avoid altitudes and regions affected by volcanic ash from Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi eruption, which occurred on Sunday.
