In the early hours of 30 June 2026, a fire at the Haldia Petrochemicals plant injured at least 15 people, and twelve fire engines were sent. The company said it may have started near an unauthorised naphtha theft point on a pipeline, while the fire department thought lightning in heavy rain was possible, and the cause was left to an investigation.
On 21 December 2021, a flash fire at the Indian Oil refinery in Haldia during shutdown-related work killed three people and injured 44, police reported. Seven of the injured were critical, and most were sent on to a Kolkata hospital.
Cyclone Yaas came ashore on 26 May 2021 at spring high tide and pushed water over embankments in Purba Medinipur, with at least 51 breaches and Digha and Tajpur reported completely flooded. Haldia stands at about 8 metres above sea level near the Hooghly mouth, so a surge on a high tide is a real risk here.
Haldia gets sudden pre-monsoon norwester storms, called Kalbaishakhi, which bring strong wind and lightning. Take shelter indoors when the sky darkens, and keep away from open ground and tall trees.
