However, there is no study from India that looked at the pregnancy outcomes in patients infected with chikungunya.

We recruited 150 consecutive pregnant females from the outpatient that were suspected chikungunya infection and subsequently tested positive for the same. Those patients who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria would be followed till 10 days including the time till fever subsided.
