Economic impact of COVID-19
The economic impact of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic in India has been largely
disruptive, India’s growth in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2020 went down to
31% according to the Ministry of Statistics. The Chief Economic Advisor of the
government of India said that this drop is mainly due to the coronavirus pandemic
effect on the Indian economy. Notably India had also been witnessing a pre-
pandemic slowdown, and according to the world bank, the current pandemic has
magnifies pre existing risks to radio’s economic outlook.
Major companies in India such as Larsen and Toubro, Bharat Forge, Ultra Tech
Cement, Grasim Industries, Aditya Birla Group, BHEL and Tata Motors have
temporarily suspended or significantly reduced operations.
18. More Economic Impacts
Largest GDP contraction ever in Q1(April – June), FY 2020 – 2021 at- 24%
Sharp rise in unemployment.
Stress on supply chains
Reduced consumer activities
Decrease in Government income
Collapse of the hospitality industry
Collapse of the tourism industry
Plunge in fuel consumption. Rise in LPG sales
TradeTensions with China.
19. EFFECT ON GOVERNMENT BUDGET
Higher fiscal spending of nearly 21% of GDP, a massive shortfall in revenues, and a likely
contraction in GDP could drive India far from the fiscal glide path that would take years to
repair.
• Finance Ministry sees fiscal deficit increase of 140- 180 bp this year due to COVID-19
impact.
• FY21 fiscal deficit seen at 6%- 6.3% against target of 3.5%
Indi’s fiscal deficit is seen to rise 6 to 6.3% in FY21, which is over 40% from what was budget
for in February this year.
Various economists re already pegging Indi’s fiscal deficit to hit about 7% due to pandemic.
Mean while, states too will need more funds in light of falling revenues, which could push the
combined fiscal deficit of center and states beyond 13%.
20. Impact of Lockdown on Government Revenue
To mitigate the spread of coronavirus in India, the central
government imposed a nation- wide lockdown on March 25, 220.
The lockdown necessitated the suspension of all economic activities,
except the ones classified as essential from time to time and the ones
that can be carried out from home. As a result, all economic activities
which require persons to travel or work outside home, such as
manufacturing of non- essential goods and construction, have
stopped since then. While this has resulted in a loss of income for
many individuals and businesses, the ongoing 40- day lockdown is
also going to severely impact the revenue of the central and state
21. Impact On Education
In India as effectively, the federal government as a facet of the nationwide lockdown has closed each
academic institution, as a consequence of which learners going from school going kids to postgraduate
college students are affected.
The government has recommended moving to online learning as a stop gap arrangement to evade any
disruptions in academic Calenders. Consequently, e learning is now the way to transform the education
sector. It is showing a positive transformation and schools and colleges in rural areas are also adapting to
technology day by day.
While the benefits of online learning are manifold, there are still many roadblock in the way ahead towards
making education an directly digital phenomenon. Hen it comes to online education or E- learning, rural
population is not completely equipped with utilities like fast internet, uninterrupped power supply and
electronic devices, there have been improvements regarding basic infrastructural facilities but many rural
areas in Indi are still grappling with these challenges to make education completely digital or online.
22. Conclusion
• The Coronavirus Disease continues to spread across the world following a trajectory
that is difficult to predict. The health, humanitarian and socio-economic policies
adopted by countries will determine the speed and strength of the recovery. There
must be a global human central response which is grounded in solidarity.
• A coordinated global effort is required to support countries that currently do not have
sufficient fiscal space to finance social policy, in particular universal social protection
systems. Debt sustainability should be prioritized in this endeavour.
• Without long term structural changes, the deep- rooted inequalities exposed y the
crisis will merely intensify. As well as tracking the immediate effects of the crisis, the
international community now how unique opportunity is adopt policies aimed at
achieving social justice and a human central future of work.
