Private sector can help address urban flooding
The torrential rains across India this monsoon once again exposed the deep vulnerabilities of its cities.

According to a 2025 World Bank report, India suffers average annual flood-related losses of nearly $4 billion, a figure expected to rise sharply as climate risks escalate and cities expand without adequate planning.
