Heatwaves impact 4.5 percent of India’s GDP

India is facing significant economic challenges due to rising temperatures, with industrial output declining by about 2% for each degree Celsius increase. It is estimated that losses could reach 4.5% of the GDP by 2030. The heat has led to a decrease in factory production and an increase in heat stress cases, prompting the government to regulate working hours and provide protective measures for workers. Experts indicate that climate change could make India the most affected country by severe heat by 2050, necessitating extensive investments to address the economic and environmental impacts.
