The direct solar radiation data over India have been examined for depletion of solar energy due to the volcanic dust clouds produced by the Mexican volcano El Chichon in 1982. At Bhavnagar and Pune the depletion of 20-25% of solar energy starting from about 20 April 1982 till the onset of monsoon has been noticed.
