The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves in urban India disproportionately affect informal workers and those living in poorly ventilated homes, such as those with tin roofs. These groups face heightened risks of heat-related illnesses, including heatstroke, and a significant decline in their earning potential. The lack of access to cooling solutions exacerbates the problem, making survival increasingly difficult for vulnerable populations. The economic and health impacts of this crisis are expected to worsen as temperatures continue to rise.
