“…Perseverance would require that firms take credit to stem over the crisis. Repeated BES surveys have shown that firms were not taking credit in 2020 and 2021 due to weak demand and challenges with accessing it (Bhandari et al, 2021a). Firms have also hired and retrenched workers to deal with the repeated COVID-19 waves and its associated lockdowns (Bhandari et al, 2021b).…”

Using a unique survey of Indian firms conducted in June 2020, we analyse whether innovating into a new product line or adapting e-commerce platforms improved business outlook. A structural equation framework is used to address the endogenous relationship between six-month advance expectations of key demand (new orders) and supply (labour costs and raw material costs) variables to the two innovation strategies. Innovation strategies are in turn determined by unobservable latent variables, that is, shocks experienced due to the COVID-19-associated national lockdown. Both innovation strategies had a positive and significant impact on demand-side sentiments but had a mixed impact on the supply side. JEL Codes: M21, O31

The objective of the study was to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on India’s economy. The analysis focused on several economic metrics, including stock market prices, the rupee’s value in relation to the US dollar, economic activity, the unemployment rate, and the rate of inflation. Contrary to popular belief, the results demonstrate that during the first wave (25 March 2020 to 16 September 2020), the increasing number of cases had a beneficial influence on economic activity and a negative impact on the unemployment rate. The second wave, which lasted from 15 March 2021 to 17 July 2021, was considerably stronger and demonstrated how confirmed instances had a significant detrimental impact on inflation rates and stock values. Contrary to expectations, the third wave (December 28, 2021, to January 30, 2022) was found to be less intense. Overall, the report shows how the pandemic affected India’s economy during each of the three waves and notes that there have been encouraging signs of recovery during the return to normalcy phase. The government, scholars, policymakers, and economists will find this study useful in understanding how the COVID-19 Pandemic affected the Indian economy and in coming up with ideas for future risk mitigation measures.
