[NEW DELHI] India is planning to restart some manufacturing after April 15 to help offset the economic damage of a nationwide coronavirus lockdown, two government sources said, even as it weighs extending the lockdown.
The 21-day lockdown of India's more than 1.3 billion people is due to end on Tuesday, but the government is widely expected to extend it until the end of the month, with the number of coronavirus cases rising to 8,447, and the domestic death toll reaching 273 on Sunday. One of the sources said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had directed some ministries to come up with plans to open up some crucial industries as the livelihoods of the poor were being hit.
The source said the government was considering allowing the resumption of some operations under guidelines that were being drawn up. The sources, who spoke to Reuters on Sunday, asked not to be identified as the plans are still under discussion.
