India's ₹4,331.68 crore investment in the National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project enhances coastal safety against cyclones. The project, spanning over a decade, introduced advanced infrastructure and technology to protect millions in vulnerable regions.

India has completed a ₹4,331.68 crore National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project, aimed at reinforcing coastal defenses over the past decade. The initiative began in January 2011 with Phase I, focusing on Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, and concluded in 2018.
Phase II commenced in July 2015, extending efforts to six additional states: Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, and West Bengal, with completion by March 2023. Key features include multi-purpose cyclone shelters, early warning systems, and underground power lines, all designed to expedite recovery post-cyclone. A significant aspect of the project is community training to empower residents to respond effectively during disasters.
