The Covid crisis engulfing India could blight the global recovery as companies are forced to shut down operations and an economy of 1.4bn people comes to a crashing halt, experts have warned.
Lockdowns are being reimposed across the country in a bid to shore up its collapsing heath system and curb a brutal second wave of infections.
Ratings agency S&P appeared poised to lower growth expectations for India as a result, while global firms with operations in the country are racing to set up war rooms than can secure scarce oxygen and medicines for staff.
