ABSTRACT: The impact of covid 19 on the economy has been quite substantial. This has forced industry to look at new ways of looking to cope up with the emerging scenario. In the aftermath of Covid -19 setting in the majority of industries with special reference to construction , hospitality , Aviation, food chain system, Logistics, Engineering and Automobiles etc were adversely affected. The sudden shutdown announced on 23rd March 2020, and the accompanying stoppage of train services pan India had put untold suffering to the migrant labour, and caused serious dent in their savings and purchasing power.It also created serious labour shortage later on opening of restrictions, due to reverse migration already having happened. The impact of all these aspects was quite severe in terms of output, employment, GDP and dampened the business climate over the last two years. The stock market went very volatile and the economic policies announced by the Govt , by way of injection of funds to the tune of over Rs2.50Lacs crores has been instrumental in maintaining liquidity and reinforced the confidence for business and trade in the economy. The labour force too though initially distraught with the sudden curb announcements had reconciled to some extent and started coming back to Cities/ Metros where they were prior to Covid. The ability and capability of the Govt to meet the challenges was put to serious test, and though initially it was dismal, over the next year it was able to see good traction and efforts made started falling in place. Overall it appears the Indian Economy has become more resilent and stronger , than in pre-covid stage, having jump started the digital revolution and policies of Govt were quite favourable to industry during these times.
