💨 Abstract

India faces a double threat as climate change intensifies, causing extreme heatwaves and increasing agricultural losses, particularly wheat, chickpea, and rapeseed. The country's growth is also affected due to urban households cutting back on spending and a lack of private investment. Heat stress is expected to lead to a 5.8% loss of daily working hours and $159 billion loss in income by 2030.
