It also warned that rising heatwaves across India could put economic productivity at risk. 75 percent of India's workforce, or 38 million people, work outdoors, which can be vulnerable to heatwaves. At the same time, by the year 2030, 3 crore 40 lakh people may become unemployed due to severe heat.
