Impact of
covid 19 on
Indian
Economy
Submitted by :
ALKA RATHI
INTRODUCTION
The economic impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic in
India has been largely disruptive. India's growth in the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2020 went down to
3.1% according to the Ministry of Statistics. The Chief
Economic Adviser to the Government of India said
that this drop is mainly due to the coronavirus
pandemic effect on the Indian economy.
The Government of
India announced
a variety of measures
to tackle the situation,
from food security
and extra funds for he
althcare and for the s
tates, to sector
related incentives and
tax deadline
extensions. On 26
March a number of
economic relief
measures for the poor
were announced
totaling over 170,000
crore (US$24 billion)
IMPACTS
• Largest GDP contraction ever in Q-2 (April
– June) FY- 2020 –21 – 24%
• Sharp rise in unemployment
• Stress on supply chains
• Decrease in government income
• Collapse of the tourism industry
• Collapse of the hospitality industry
• Reduced consumer activity
• Trade tensions with China
• Plunge in fuel consumption. Rise in LPG
sales.
IMPACTS ON
DIFFERENT SECTORS
OF ECONOMY
The impact of coronavirus
pandemic on India has been
largely disruptive in terms of
economic activity as well as a
loss of human lives. Almost all
the sectors have been adversely
affected as domestic demand
and exports sharply plummeted
with some notable exceptions
where high growth was
observed. An attempt is made to
analyze the impact and possible
solutions for some key sectors.
OF ECONOMY
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE Since agriculture is the backbone of the country and a part of the government
announced essential category, the impact is likely to be low on both primary
agricultural production and usage of agro-inputs.
AVIATION AND TOURISM
The contribution of the Aviation Sector and Tourism to our GDP stands at
about 2.4% and 9.2% respectively. The Tourism sector served approximately
43 million people in FY 18-19. Aviation and Tourism were the first industries
that were hit significantly by the pandemic. The common consensus seems to
be that COVID will hit these industries harder than 9/11 and the Financial
Crisis of 2008.
TELECOM AND MEDIA
There has been a significant amount of changes in the telecom sector of India
even before the COVID 19 due to brief price wars between the service
providers. Most essential services and sectors have continued to run during
the pandemic thanks to the implementation of the 'work from home' due to
restrictions.
PHARMACEUTICALS
The pharmaceutical industry has been on the rise since the start of the Covid-19
pandemic, especially in India, the largest producer of generic drugs globally. With a
market size of $55 billion during the beginning of 2020, it has been surging in India,
exporting Hydroxychloroquine to the world.
OIL AND GAS
The Indian Oil & Gas industry is quite significant in the global context - it is
the third-largest energy consumer only behind USA and Chine and
contributes to 5.2% of the global oil demand. The complete lockdown across
the country slowed down the demand of transport fuels (accounting for
2/3rd demand in oil & gas sector) as auto & industrial manufacturing
declined and goods & passenger movement (both bulk & personal) fell.
CONCLUSION
Besides informal sectors,
the lower strata of society
and daily wage workers
faced the greatest impact
due to social distancing as
well as reduced household
income.
