NO This case study examines climate change risks and their implications for the Konkan Railway Corporation’s infrastructure, focusing on vulnerability to extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, landslides, and boulder falls. It outlines the operational context of a railway built in rugged terrain with high exposure to precipitation-related disruptions and accidents. The document applies a risk assessment framework integrating climate variables, system conditions, and economic loss estimation to evaluate impacts on infrastructure performance and maintenance costs. It presents historical trends, accident data, and expenditure patterns, alongside preventive and adaptive measures, including geo-technical interventions and technological systems, to manage uncertainty, enhance resilience, and address long-term climate-related risks.
