India tests parametric insurance for fast disaster payouts after extreme weather.
India is exploring a nationwide parametric insurance program to deliver rapid payouts after extreme weather events like floods and heatwaves, triggered automatically when predefined climate thresholds are met.
Led by federal agencies and involving insurers, the initiative aims to speed up disaster recovery, reduce reliance on government funds, and expand coverage in vulnerable areas.
Though no formal rollout date or funding plan has been set, pilot programs in several states have already provided payouts for heatwaves and floods.
The move reflects India’s growing focus on climate resilience amid increasing weather-related disasters.
