Retailers said the capital shutdown could push them into losses in the first quarter. Business had already declined by almost 70% in Delhi as consumers stayed away from markets and the lockdown will wipe out the remaining business, said Siddharath Bindra, managing director of ethnic apparel brand Biba.
