Over the past three decades, India has experienced more than 400 extreme weather events. Its power sector, spanning thermal plants, solar parks, wind installations, and transmission infrastructure, faces escalating physical risk across every layer of the value chain. Yet most existing climate risk tools stop at hazard identification, offering qualitative ratings rather than quantified operational or financial impact
