Cyclone Tauktae is a unique cyclone event that impacted all the western coastal states of India in May 2021. Gujarat and Diu were badly impacted. The impact to Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa was primarily due to flooding and soil erosion along the coast due to a mild surge. The wind impact was primarily on electric poles and telecom towers, disrupting power supply and communication in certain areas. Cyclone Tauktae is estimated to have caused losses to the tune of `15,000 crore, including `9,000 crore to the agriculture and transportation sectors, an initial assessment by RMSI, a provider of geospatial and engineering solutions, shows.
