Industries anxious over missed export deadlines owing to lockdown

Exports from manufacturing alone come to about $250 m every month
About 10 days into the lockdown, several industries relying on exports for their businesses are facing the heat over missed deadlines in export commitments. As a number of industries have not been exempted under essential services to operate, they have remained closed following the lockdown order of May 7. This comes even as workers in several industries that are functioning under exempted category are reporting to work amid heightened anxiety over contracting the virus. This is true across industrial areas in Doddaballapura, Bommasandra, Peenya, and Bidadi in Bengaluru, besides industries in Mangaluru, Hubballi, and Mysuru districts.
