The extreme heatwaves are likely to disrupt labour productivity, agricultural output, and utility infrastructure across India. Vulnerable populations, including informal sector workers such as construction labourers, street vendors, and delivery personnel, face heightened risks due to prolonged outdoor exposure. The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change reported that India lost approximately 191 billion potential labour hours in 2022 due to heat exposure, with the agricultural sector accounting for 64% of this loss. Without adequate interventions, the projected fatalities and economic losses could escalate significantly.
