The lockdown in India has been extended until May 3. The economy is hurt during a 21-day lockdown to prevent the corona virus epidemic from spreading in the country. Analysts and industry boards have predicted that the 21-day lockdown could impact India's staggering economy by Rs7-8 lakh crore.

He said that more than 90 per cent of the 10 million trucks in the country are missing from the roads. Only essential commodities are being transported from one place to another.
Gupta had said, "Even if the lockout is lifted, it will take at least two to three months for the trucks to come back to normal functioning." AIMTC represents 93 lakh transporters and truck drivers, At the same time, according to the National Real Estate Development Council (NREDC), an organization of realty companies, has estimated a loss of one lakh crore rupees in the area. NREDC President Niranjan Hiranandani told, "According to me, there could be a loss of one lakh crore rupees at the all India level."
