Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: Under the impact of a solar storm, India currently faces a new cause for concern—one that could have a direct bearing on the country's economy. Intense solar radiation and geomagnetic storms have the potential to disrupt power infrastructure, satellite communications, GPS systems, and internet services; consequently, there is a looming risk of major disruptions across the banking sector, stock markets, aviation, and defense systems. In such a scenario, both the manufacturing and service sectors would suffer setbacks, supply chains would face disruptions, and overall economic growth could be stifled. Thus, this solar storm is not merely a scientific phenomenon, but rather a grave warning regarding India's economic stability.
