MUMBAI: The majority of India’s planned renewable energy infrastructure will be exposed to escalating climate hazards, putting about US$55bil of physical assets at risk of damage by the end of this decade, according to a new study.

Some 239GW of proposed solar, wind and hydropower capacity across 10 Indian states – about 90% of the total – face high or critical vulnerabilities to compounding weather events like extreme floods, Zurich Insurance Group AG said in an assessment.
