SHRAM provides real-time heat stress monitoring across India using EHI-N*, a physiologically-based model calibrated to MET levels developed by the IECC team. EHI-6* estimates heat stress experienced by workers doing heavy labor in direct sunlight.
View current conditions by district, 3-day forecasts, and sign up for personalized alerts when hazardous heat levels are detected.
CHAITRA provides ward-level decision support for heat resilience in Indian cities using satellite data and the IPCC AR6 risk framework. Developed by IECC team, it identifies which wards face compound heat risk, what interventions each requires, and what they cost.
View priority wards by layer, generate resource estimates, and export reports for departmental budget planning.

Rapid Deployment of Solar and Storage Is the Main Option for Avoiding Power Shortages in India
Due to rapid electricity demand growth, India will likely experience significant evening power shortages by 2027, even if all the thermal & hydro capacity currently under construction comes online as planned.
Recent SECI gigawatt-scale solar + storage auction results, with a record low price of Rs 3.4/kWh, have demonstrated how solar+storage will be an economical solution to help avoid power shortages. Solar + storage can be deployed much faster than new thermal and hydro assets.
