Port infrastructure belonging to several firms in Gujarat, which were in the path of Cyclone Tauktae, suffered damages.

The cyclone also damaged many Covid-19 care centers and vaccination sites, such as the NESCO Jumbo vaccine center at Mumbai’s Goregaon, on its path. Some Bollywood movie sets such as those of “Tiger 3”, “Gangubai Kathiawadi”, and “Maidaan”, and other TV production sets were also damaged.

Cyclone Tauktae is the first “extremely severe cyclone” that has hit the Mumbai coast in the last 130 years, as per the Indian Meteorological Department.
