Abstract
This study attempted to reexamine the relationship between hydroclimate extreme and economic growth in India. Using primary and secondary information, this exploration was carried out at three levels - macro, meso, and micro. The study confirmed the negative impact of hydroclimatic extreme events on economic growth, highlighting different impact pathways.
