Ever since the World Health Organisation (WHO) designated the corona virus to be a global epidemic. More than any other illness in recent memory, the Covid-19 pandemic has altered the way we work, shop, and interact with one another. As more people choose to work from home, they are keeping to the essentials, going outside just to make purchases, and they are always concerned about the possibility of contracting an infection in crowded areas like supermarkets and malls. Spending by consumers is concentrated on home entertainment as well as necessities like food, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene products. Certain categories show stronger trends as countries progress through the transmission. When it comes to purchasing necessities during the epidemic, the great majority of people still shop at grocery stores. Prior to the epidemic, quality, price, and brand were the top considerations for consumers making purchases. These days, availability, price, and quality are their main concerns. The present study has collected primary data by using questionnaire from 120 respondents to draw a conclusion. The study has found that people are encouraged to purchase necessities online during lockdown in order to facilitate social alienation. Several internet service providers who communicate with farmers and consumers are altering their business practices during the lockdown.
