A network of 25 lightning detection sensors (LDS) has been established by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). In the present network, sensors are located in the north-east, east coastal, central and southern locations of India. Geo-location of the lightning occurrences is estimated using time of arrival algorithm. Thus obtained lightning occurrences have been used to derive climate variables (ECVs) and to understand the vulnerable regions. We carry out overlay analysis on a Geographical Information System (GIS) platform on the monthly aggregate number of CG flash occurrences to identify the vulnerable Indian states during July 2019 to November 2020. We note that December-January reported the least number of cloud-to-ground (CG) flash occurrences while, August-September were the months with most number of CG flash occurrences. We also note that during the period under the scrutiny in this report, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh states recorded the most number of CG lightning flash occurrences.
