Corona Impact on Indian Economy

Heavy fall in rupee as well
The rupee hit 32 paise and fell to a nine-month low of 75.05 against the US dollar due to Corona’s hit. At the same time, industrial production, measured through the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), fell 3.6 percent in February. Earlier, it declined by 0.9 percent in January. In February, both mining and manufacturing sectors recorded a decline. Along with this, there is an increase in the possibility of GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2020-21 due to the rapid increase in the case of COVID-19 infection in some states and the industrial activity affected by it.
