COVID-19 put an immediate halt to many business activities
across the globe, as several countries had shut down their ports,
airports and domestic transportation while imposing nation-wide
lockdowns, leading to a disturbance in business and civil life.
The lockdown in India impacted manufacturing activities across
the globe. India took special measures to control the spread by
imposing one of the longest lockdowns in the world, to cushion
the scarce availability of healthcare resources. The enormity of
the lockdown affected manufacturing activities and supply chains
alike, disrupting the overall economy.
