A government study has found that northwestern, central, and south-central India are expected to become hotspots for heatwaves in the future. The study predicts a significant increase in the frequency of heatwaves in these regions, with the south-central region experiencing the largest increase. The study, conducted by the Mahamana Centre of Excellence in Climate Change Research, analyzed future changes in heatwave characteristics for the mid-term and long-term future. These findings highlight the need for heat-resilient policies and adaptation measures to mitigate the impact on human health, agriculture, and infrastructure. Additionally, the International Energy Agency predicts that India will have the highest energy demand growth globally in the next three decades, driven in part by the increasing need for electricity for air conditioning.
