Up to now, the number of confirmed cases in India is as high as 1,929,305, and the number of newly diagnosed cases has broken the highest record. The epidemic situation in India has completely gone out of control and has deteriorated in an all-round way. The spread of this terror is only comparable to the United States.
Along with this, the seller’s worries came
Maharashtra is the region most severely affected by the new crown epidemic, and the local government announced a 15-day lockdown. In addition, Maharashtra has shut down industries other than basic service businesses. Public transportation will continue to target important workers and emergencies and important activities for the public, restricting the movement of all non-essential personnel.

The most worrying thing is that e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, and Reliance Digital will stop accepting orders for non-essential items until the early morning of May 7.
These non-essential items include categories such as fashion, electronics, and furniture, and only services and activities in the "basic category" can be exempted.
The lockout period is expected to be from 8:00 pm on April 14th to 7:00 am on May 1st. Although e-commerce is included in the basic service category, the local government still only allows the provision of basic goods and services.
On the Flipkart platform, a senior executive of an e-commerce company stated that the company has stopped accepting orders other than sanitary products, personal care, and groceries. In this situation, they will not be allowed to accept and ship these products until May 1.
Both buyers and sellers will fall into a dilemma. When placing orders with non-essential goods, buyers cannot buy and sellers cannot sell; although necessities can be sold, they will also face issues such as personnel restrictions and logistics delays. In this regard, sellers need to take countermeasures in advance to reduce losses.
