The lockdown imposed by the Centre to curb Covid-19 pandemic is weighing on the demand for tractors and other agricultural equipment, say manufacturers.

An acute shortage of labour is prompting farmers to take to mechanisation. But with tractor dealers shuttered and banks and financial institutions snapping the credit lines for purchases, the world’s biggest market for farm equipment is in disarray. Close to 95 per cent of tractors in India are bought on credit.

On March 29, we had 979 positive cases, now we've 8356 positive cases; of these 20%, cases need ICU support. So, today too 1671 patients need oxygen support&critical care treatment. This figure is imp to show that govt is planning things in being over-prepared, Lav Aggarwal, Joint Secretary, Union Health Ministry stated.

A survey, carried out by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE), has revealed that the US economy is already in recession and will remain in a contractionary state for the first half of 2020, as the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic severely restricts economic activity.

Economists believe the US economy entered recession in March itself.

India has requested the US government to extend the validity of H-1B and other visas for Indian nationals stranded in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the latest updates, the US State Department has conveyed India's request for the extension of visas, including the request for extension H-1B visas for Indians in America to the US Department of Homeland Security. Most of the Indians are stranded in the US due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
