While last year in March 2020, the Covid situation appeared to be a bottomless pit, this year the magnitude and timeline of damage to the economy seems to be relatively more determinate. There has been no national lockdown and the states have implemented targeted lockdowns which allows manufacturing and construction activities in most cases. As per the Oxford Stringency Index, which measures the strictness of local responses to the virus, India’s stringency was a very high 96-100% in the summer of 2020. In comparison, at the end of May this year, India scored 82% on the Oxford Stringency Index, due to the less severe lockdowns.
