Summary
Cyclone Biparjoy, categorized as a "very severe storm," is approaching the north-west coastline of India and south Pakistan, prompting port shutdowns and mandatory evacuations for thousands. The ports affected include some of the country's leading container handlers, such as Mundra, Pipavav, and Hazira, which will cause further disruptions to cargo interests in the busy trade region, already caught up in a supply chain quagmire.
