The document outlines efforts by CDRI to integrate climate and disaster resilience into India’s National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP). It includes cost-benefit analyses (CBA) of five sectoral projects and reviews of standard agreements in roads, power, and rail sectors to identify resilience gaps.
A key tool developed is the Resilience CBA dashboard, which compares lifecycle costs with and without resilience measures. The document also proposes revisions to procurement and contractual documents to include risk-sharing and force majeure clauses.
A comprehensive disaster resilience toolkit is introduced, offering design options, evaluation guidance, and proposal preparation support for ministries and bidders. The goal is to reduce financial losses, improve infrastructure resilience, and promote disaster-informed investment decisions across India’s infrastructure ecosystem.
