Cyclonic storm Biparjoy, expected to hit Gujarat and neighbouring Pakistan, may cause extensive damage to infrastructure and the economy. Evacuations have affected daily wage earners while exports are disrupted as major corporations like Reliance Industries and Adani Group have suspended operations in the region. Infrastructure bears the brunt of cyclonic fury, leading to a slowdown in business activity and causing the country's GDP growth to stumble under the weight of natural calamities.
