Report summary
India is under a three-week lockdown from 25 March 2020 to contain the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. Non-essential travel is banned, and people are confined to their homes. Businesses are shut, and the supply chain is disrupted. Industries are either closed or operating at sub-optimal utilisation. In this insight, we try to gauge the impact of supply chain disruption, limited workforce availability and a slowing demand on the steel, iron ore and coal sectors in India.
