Hailstorms pose a significant threat to Indian agriculture, particularly during the rabi crop season when wheat, mustard, and gram are maturing. A single storm can flatten crops, strip orchards, and cause quality loss due to fungal infections. In 2015, hailstorms affected over 22 lakh hectares in Haryana, 16.89 lakh hectares in Rajasthan, and 9.89 lakh hectares in Maharashtra. The patchy nature of hail damage makes it harder to assess losses, impacting farmers' livelihoods. Weak structures, such as kacha houses, electric poles, and billboards, are also at risk during these storms.
