Several key sectors stare at export impact as pandemic rages Synopsis “People are scared to buy from India and uncertain if we can deliver the orders,” said Sharad Kumar Saraf, president of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations. “If cases continue to increase like this, with workers and staff getting infected, we might see an impact.” India’s exports could take a knock in the months ahead as international buyers have started looking elsewhere for supplies amid uncertainty over delivery commitments as the pandemic rages. Textiles, garments, automobiles and steel are expected to be the most impacted, exporters said, even as demand recovers in the UK and the US.
