Tough road ahead, economy gears up for limited restart

前路艰难，印度准备逐步重启经济活动

NEW DELHI: Several key sectors of the economy are expected to begin operations from Monday as the Centre has given its nod for a limited start to jumpstart activities in some segments but industry representatives say it would be a tough task given the lack of public transport and several other restrictions such as movement of inter-state labour.

新德里：印度中央政府已同意重启某些领域的经济活动，预计几个关键行业将从周一开始恢复运营。但行业代表表示，鉴于缺乏公共交通，以及邦际劳工流动等其它一些限制，这将是一项艰巨的任务。

Last week, the Centre announced limited resumption of economic activity outside Covid-19 containment zones, particularly in industrial zones and rural areas. It said all facilities involved in supply of essential goods, shops dealing in food and groceries would be allowed to resume operations as well as all goods traffic for essential goods.

上周，中央政府宣布在封锁区以外有限地恢复经济活动，特别是在工业区和农村地区。中央表示说，所有涉及基本用品供应的工厂、经营食品和杂货的商店都将被允许恢复运营，所有基本品的运输也将恢复。

Industries outside city limits, units in SEZs, industrial estates and townships and export-oriented units have also been permitted to start their units but with strict conditions and in compliance with social distancing norms.

也批准位于市外的工业、经济特区内的单位、工业区和乡镇以及出口型单位恢复运营，但要符合严格的条件并遵循社交疏离规范。

Courier, services by self-employed such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters, IT repair as well as construction of roads, buildings and irrigation projects have been allowed. To restart farming, the Centre has allowed harvesting, procurement, mandi operations and inter-state movement of agri machinery.

快递员，水管工、电工、木匠、信息技术维修等个体经营者、以及道路、建筑和灌溉工程建设均已获准复工。为了重启农业，中央允许收割、采购、大市场营业以及农业机械的跨邦运作。

The mega jobs programme MGNREGA with priority for irrigation and water conservation has been allowed to provide relief to workers in rural areas. IT and IT-enabled services at 50% capacity, IT and hardware manufacturing have been permitted while food processing outside municipal limits and production of packaging material, jute industry, brick kilns have been permitted among a raft of other segments.

以灌溉和水利为重点的大型就业计划MGNREGA已获准向农村地区的工人提供救济。IT及IT支持服务，IT和硬件制造已获准复工，而食品加工和包装材料、黄麻工业、砖窑生产已获准重启。

All health services and social sector to remain functional while public utilities will operate with any obstacles. The supply chain of essential goods to operate without any hindrance and important offices of central and state governments and local bodies will remain open with the required staff strength.

所有卫生服务和社会部门将继续运营，而公共事业将在有限制的条件下运营。在无任何限制条件下运作的基本品供应链，中央、邦政府和地方机构的重要办事处将继续开放，并配备所需工作人员。

Educational institutions will remain shut and emphasis is on online teaching. Air, rail and bus travel will also remain closed while hotels, restaurants, malls, cinema halls, gyms will remain closed as well as all religious places.

教育机构将继续停课，开展在线教学。航空、铁路和巴士旅行也将继续暂停，酒店、餐馆、商场、电影院、体育馆以及所有宗教场所也将继续停业。

The move to reboot some segments of the economy has been fast-tracked by the devastating impact of the lockdown due to the Covid-19 outbreak on jobs and growth. Several assessments have shown a severe dent on the economy and growth estimates have ranged from 1.5 to 2.8% depending on the extent and duration of the virus outbreak.

由于新冠危机对就业和经济增长造成的毁灭性影响，重启部分经济领域的行动一直进展迅速。一些评估显示，经济受到严重影响，根据病毒爆发的程度和持续时间，增长率预计将跌至从1.5-2.8%之间。

The first industry right now India should focus on producing mass quantities of PPEs (masks and other needed items) quickly as the world's dire need of them. That will bring large amount of foreign currency to India !!!

现在印度应该集中生产防护装备(口罩及其他必需品)，世界各国都有需求，这会给印度带来大量外汇!!

An appropriate gesture from the central government. India needs to restart everything to recover the loss, but this will take a little more time to maintain everything on the track. The most excellent thing is that we have a non-corrupt central government. Under the guidance of PM, Modi, India will come back with a good future.
