The coronavirus outbreak, which originated in China, has infected tens of thousands of people. Its spread has left businesses around the world counting costs.
Here are eight key maps and charts to help you understand the impact seen on different economies and industries so far. Global shares take a hit
WNU Editor: The U.S. stock market has lost $16 trillion in the past few weeks. Throw in the other markets and on how much they have lost. WOW!!!! I can easily see a market lost approaching $35 trillion (if not more). And if the economies of Europe, Asia, and the U.S. are forced into a shut down that could last from 2 weeks to 2 months, the loss of global GDP is going to be approaching numbers that have never been reached in the modern era.
* The Federal Reserve has taken emergency action to lower interest rates to near zero over coronavirus concerns * The central bank said in a statement released on Sunday that it was cutting rates to a target range of 0 per cent to 0.25 per cent * The Fed said the effects of the coronavirus is expected to 'weigh on economic activity in the near term and poses risks to the economic outlook' * It also will purchase more Treasury securities to encourage lending to try to offset the impact of the outbreak * The Fed plans to buy $500 billion of Treasury securities and $200 billion of mortgage-backed securities in response to market disruptions * The disruptions bumped up the yield on the 10-year Treasury last week, an unusual move that threatens to increase borrowing costs
The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the second time in less than two weeks on Sunday in another emergency move to help shore up the US economy amid the rapidly escalating global coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement, the central bank said it was cutting rates to a target range of 0% to 0.25%.
'The effects of the coronavirus will weigh on economic activity in the near term and poses risks to the economic outlook. In light of these developments, the committee decided to lower the target range,' the Fed said in a statement.
* Gov Gavin Newsom called for the closure of all bars across the state during press conference on Sunday * Newsom also said that restaurants will have to cut their seating capacity by 50% and social distance people * New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that bars and restaurants will start to close Tuesday morning * Washington state's governor said that the state's bars and restaurants will be limited to takeout and delivery * Ohio Gov Mike DeWine also announced the closure of all bars and restaurants throughout state on Sunday * Illinois Gov J.B. Pritzker said the closure of all of the state's bars and restaurants will begin on Monday * The closures came after CDC advised officials that large events could contribute to the spread of COVID-19 * Earlier Sunday, New York City's mayor, Bill de Blasio, ordered closure of nation's largest public school district
Large swathes of America are shutting down after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Sunday night advised against holding large gatherings of more than 50 people for at least eight weeks to fight coronavirus.
The recommendations led to four states ordering bars and restaurants to effectively shut - limiting them to take out only - and New York City ordered the same as well as the shutting down of nightclubs, cinemas and theaters.
Washington, Ohio, Illinois and Massachusetts all ordered bars and restaurants to offer take out food only. California has asked all bars to shut and Los Angeles has ordered owners of establishments to shut them down.
Guatemala logged its first fatality from coronavirus on Sunday as nations in South and Central America ramped up measures to contain the infection, with Panama banning entry of non-resident foreigners and Honduras closing its borders to passenger traffic for a week.
The leaders of Argentina and Peru also announced border closures on Sunday to curb coronavirus. Argentina will close its borders for 15 days to non-residents, President Alberto Fernandez said in a televised press conference.
Public and private school classes would also be suspended until March 31, Fernandez said. National parks would be closed.
NAIROBI (Reuters) - Several African governments on Sunday closed borders, canceled flights and imposed strict entry and quarantine requirements to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, which has a foothold in at least 26 countries on the continent as cases keep rising.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national state of disaster and warned the outbreak could have a "potentially lasting" impact on the continent's most-developed economy, which is already in recession.
Measures to be taken there include barring travel to and from countries such as Italy, Germany, China and the United States.
BEIJING (Reuters) - Mainland China reported an overall drop in new coronavirus infections on Sunday, but major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai continued to wrestle with cases involving infected travelers arriving from abroad.
Mainland China had 16 new confirmed cases on Sunday, the National Health Commission said on Monday, down from 20 a day earlier. That brings the total number of confirmed cases in China so far to 80,860.
Of the new figures, 12 were imported infections, exceeding locally transmitted cases for the third day.
Beijing accounted for four of the cases, Guangdong province four, Shanghai two, Yunnan province one and Gansu province one. That brings the total number of imported cases to 123 so far.
* The death toll in Iran has now risen to 724 in total with 13,338 confirmed cases * A leading official has admitted the coronavirus could overwhelm Iran's hospitals * The past 24 hours saw 113 people die of the virus, the most in a single day in Iran * Meanwhile, several other nations have implemented travel bans to tackle virus * Coronavirus symptoms: what are they and should you see a doctor?
A leading Iranian official has admitted that hospitals in the country could be overwhelmed by the coronavirus after a record 113 deaths and 1,209 new cases were reported in just 24 hours.
It was the first time that more than 100 people had died from the virus in a single day in the Islamic nation.
In total, 724 people have died in Iran and there are 13,338 confirmed cases, though questions about the government's transparency suggest the real figure could be even higher.
Now, Ali Reza Zali, who is leading Iran's official campaign against the outbreak, has admitted Iran could run out of hospital beds.
He told the state-run IRNA news agency: 'If the trend continues, there will not be enough capacity.'
* Italian officials say death toll has hit 1,809 as total infections reaches 24,747 * Overnight jump of 300 fatalities follows chilling video of hard-hit Lombardy * The obituary of Bergamo newspaper has expanded from one to 10 in pandemic * Mortuary of the local hospital is full with bodies now being kept in churches * One councillor added that coronavirus patients are being buried every half hour * Meanwhile, a report claims over-80s could be 'left to die' in fight against virus
Coronavirus deaths in Italy rose by 368 overnight to bring the total to 1,809, while 24,747 people have tested positive for the deadly bug.
Italian officials confirmed the jump today, as the national lockdown imposed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte earlier this month rumbles on another week.
The shocking development comes as chilling footage shows the obituary of one local newspaper expanding from a single page to 10.
In the video, a man speaking Italian zooms in on the front page of L'Eco di Bergamo that circulates in the city in the hard-hit Lombardy region.
* Six new countries in Africa confirmed cases of coronavirus on Saturday * It means that 25 of the continent's 54 countries have COVID-19 patients * All cases were brought to the continent by travelers from overseas
Africa is seeing a steady spread of the coronavirus across the continent, with six new countries confirming cases on Saturday.
It means 25 of the continent's 54 countries have COVID-19 patients, with the Republic of Congo being the latest country reporting a case, late Saturday.
Eswatini, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Namibia and Rwanda also confirmed their first cases Saturday.
All were brought to the continent by travelers from overseas, as with almost all the other cases reported in Africa, according to health authorities.
Welcome home! Arriving passengers from Europe have faced lines lasting up to six hours as travelers are forced to enter through 13 designated 'funnel' airports. This was the scene arriving at Chicago O'Hare airport
* Arriving passengers from Europe have faced lines lasting up to six hours as travelers are forced to enter through 13 designated 'funnel' airports * Lines are taking far longer than usual due to 'enhanced COVID19 screening' where passengers are being asked a series of questions before being told to self-quarantine and follow CDC guidelines * Passengers are not being tested for coronavirus or having their temperatures taken
Huge lines formed at the 13 American 'funnel' airports on Saturday night as American's returned from Europe were forced to wait in lines for as long as six hours.
The scenes were similar across the country - from Boston to Chicago, Atlanta to Dallas.
Lines were particularly bad at JFK Terminal 4, Chicago O'Hare Terminal 5 and Dallas/Fort Worth airport with passengers packed in tight, many of them wearing face masks.
Customs and Border Protection Officers were completely overwhelmed as U.S. citizens rushed to get back into the country as President Trump's European travel ban went into effect.
WNU Editor: Everyone has been warning for weeks that this was going to happen. It is hard to feel sorry for people who put themselves in a position of denial until reality hits them in the face.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei meets with people of Qom, in Teheran, Iran, January 9, 2019. Official Khamenei website/Handout via REUTERS
The regime in Tehran is in lots of trouble these days. As U.S. sanctions tighten, at least a quarter of Iran's oil rigs are now out of action, "dealing a potentially long-term blow to its oil industry." The coronavirus "has now spread to every province in the country and people are fearful that the true scale of the outbreak is even worse than is being disclosed."
And if those and other severe pressures aren't enough, Shiites in countries that Shiite Iran seeks to dominate are now telling Iran to go home and get off their backs.
That's the story told by Hanin Ghaddar, a Lebanese expat and an analyst for the Washington Institute for Near East policy:
In Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, and inside Iran itself—the countries that fall along the Shia Crescent—the people have realized that the enemy is within. It's their own governments that have allowed the Iranian regime to take over the state and its institutions…. The Shia Crescent…is finally turning against the Iranian regime and its proxies.
WNU Editor: In the current situation Iran is not the only country facing a nightmare in the Middle East. The collapsed of oil prices is impacting every nation in the region, the wars and conflicts continue, and the Covid-19 Coronavirus knows no boundaries.
Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard M. Burr says he hopes there are no attacks while the intelligence authorities are expired. (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call file photo)
Senate gets ready to leave for the weekend without passing a re-authorization.
Three intelligence surveillance tools are set to expire on Sunday with the Senate leaving for the weekend without acting on a stopgap extension.
The House on Wednesday passed an overhaul measure that would reauthorize through Dec. 1, 2023, various surveillance authorities of the USA FREEDOM Act and the underlying Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
WNU Editor: The above article is focused on the US Senate's push to re-authorize FISA, and remarks from the Senate Intelligence Chairman that he is afraid of a terror attack occurring if these tools are not passed by the US Senate. Politicians using fear to get their agenda passed is nothing new, but it does focus on a very important question. What happens if there is a major terror attack in the U.S. in the coming weeks/months? I shudder when I think of what the US reaction would be to such an event, because now is definitely not the time to pull such a stunt against the U.S..
* There are more than 2,000 cases of coronavirus in the US now with 43 dead * In Mexico, there have only been 16 confirmed cases and no reported deaths * Health Minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell said: 'Mexico wouldn't bring the virus to the United States, rather the United States would bring it here' * Trump has boasted that the situation in the US would be worse if it weren't for his tough stance on the border * From midnight on Friday, flights from Europe to the US will be suspended
For once, the conversation over closing the US-Mexico border is being driven b Mexican health officials who say they are considering shutting out Americans to keep coronavirus out of their country.
There are currently more than 2,000 cases of the virus in the US and it is spreading rapidly. Forty-three people have died from it.
By contrast in Mexico, there have only been 16 confirmed cases and no deaths.
At a press conference on Friday, health minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell said: 'Mexico wouldn't bring the virus to the United States, rather the United States would bring it here.
WNU Editor: The concerns from the Mexic'sHealth Minister are justified. The U.S. is shutting down right now, with restaurants, hotels, and other labour intensive occupations being impacted directly. Instead of staying home for the next few months, I would not be surprised if many who are from Mexico may make the decision to return to Mexico until this is all over instead of staying home.
"Google is partnering with the US Government in developing a nationwide website that includes information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information. (2/6)
Google pushed back against claims from left-wing media on Saturday after certain publications and journalists falsely claimed that President Donald Trump lied when he said that Google was building a national website to track cases of coronavirus.
"I want to thank Google," Trump said during a press conference on Friday. "Google is helping to develop a website. It's going to be very quickly done, unlike websites of the past, to determine whether a test is warranted and to facilitate testing at a nearby convenient location."
Google Communications initially released a statement on Friday from Verily, a company that is owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet.
"We are developing a tool to help triage individuals for Covid-19 testing. Verily is in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more broadly over time," Google Communications tweeted. "We appreciate the support of government officials and industry partners and thank the Google engineers who have volunteered to be part of this effort."
WNU Editor: One of my brother's closest friends (who is also a neighbour) is one of the managers for this project, and he tells em that they are very excited to be involved in this project knowing too well that it is going to be used by everyone once it is online. As for the main stream media. CTV News in Canada this morning is still carrying the fake news report that Google was surprised by the President's announcement. Sighhhh .... this is just another reminder on why we must always be skeptical on what the news is reporting on.
THE POPE appeared to ignore advice issued by the Italian government to stay inside amid the coronavirus lockdown in the country, as the Catholic leader took to the empty streets to pray for the end of the deadly virus.
WATCH the moment a Spanish woman infected with COVID-19 is told to go home because she is not sick enough despite her husband dying hours before as a result of the coronavirus.
A CLINICAL trial for a coronavirus vaccine is set to begin today but Public health officials have warned it will take a year to 18 months to fully validate any potential vaccine.
THE SPANISH Government has ordered the military to patrol the streets of several cities most at risk from coronavirus, less than 24hours after the country declared a nationwide lockdown.
ITALIAN journalist Mario Giordano has accused Germany of a coronavirus cover-up, after a team of scientists in Milan discovered the coronavirus epidemic came to Italy via Germany and not directly from China.
THE World Trade Organization's decision to suspend all meetings at its Geneva headquarters until the end of next month in the light of the coronavirus virus pandemic is likely to increase the chances of the UK asking to delay Brexit past the end of the year, a political analyst has claimed.

NEW DELHI: With Covid-19 cases increasing, India's apex medical body is intensifying the random sampling of people who display flu-like symptoms but don't have any history of travel to outbreak zones to determine whether community transmission is taking place.Each of the 51 Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) laboratories is to test 10 such samples every week. The exercise began on March 15. Before this, the ICMR had picked up 20 samples and tested them at 13 labs to check for community transmission between February 15 and 29."Since the number of cases are more, we are more aggressive now," said Nivedita Gupta, scientist, epidemiology and communicable diseases, ICMR. "We thought that in order to rule out community transmission, let's keep on checking these samples also for the presence for Covid-19."This comes as reports from other countries suggest that the spread of Covid-19 by people who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic may be responsible for more transmission than previously thought.ICMR experts aren't convinced about following South Korea's strategy, which has reported more recoveries from Covid-19 than new infections through aggressive testing without any lockdowns. Indian experts said they will revise the testing protocol depending on the situation."The testing strategy will completely change if we find any positive case in these random samples that we plan to test," Gupta said. According to ICMR director general Balram Bhargava, "The testing protocol is a moving target...The testing strategy will be revised in a week's time if it's needed to and having looked at the circumstances." South Korea, where the outbreak is said to have stabilised, is mass testing nearly 20,000 people every day and has a fatality rate of 0.7%. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has said that asymptomatic transmission is a possibility. 74644237 "Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads," according to the CDC website.Gupta said the government wants to avoid blanket checks. "First of all, we don't want to do any indiscriminate testing as now everybody is asking for a test, so somewhere you will have to rationalise the test," she said.Only those "with travel history to high-risk countries, anyone who had contact with a lab-positive person is requested to be quarantined or home quarantined for 14 days," as per ICMR guidelines, Bhargava said. "During those 14 days, if he becomes symptomatic, he should be laboratory tested. If the person is asymptomatic, he doesn't need to be tested."Other than the network of ICMR testing laboratories, there 35-40 government-run facilities that are acting as collection centres.Bhargava is "not worried about capacity" and there's no discussion about roping in private units. India can currently conduct up to 10,000 tests a day. The ICMR laboratories have about 100,000 testing kits and an additional 200,000 have been ordered, said RR Gangakhedkar, ICMR chief epidemiologist.The number of positive Covid-19 cases in the country rose to 107 on Sunday, including 17 foreign nationals. Two people are confirmed to have died of the disease, one in Delhi and the other in Karnataka.
In just weeks, the Coronavirus pandemic has shaved off nearly a third of the global market cap. The Indian equity market bounced back valiantly on Friday, but the Sensex still closed 20% below the peak achieved two months ago. Investors can get some cold comfort that other markets have fallen more. The spread of the virus has triggered panic across the world and shaken the confidence of investors.Making things worse is the crude oil war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, which has injected volatility into other assets. "Earlier, only the equity and debt markets were impacted by the Covid-19 scare; now the commodities and currency market are in turmoil due to the crude oil war. After a crash of this magnitude, market confidence usually does not come back soon. So, it is better to wait for calm before taking big investment decisions," says Anil Sarin, CIO - Equities, Centrum Broking. Before considering what investors should do now, let us understand the reasons behind this turmoil. 74623443 74623450 Covid-19 now a pandemicAs of 12 March, only 29% of the active cases were in China and the remaining 71% were in other parts of the world. Active cases mean the infected people who are still being treated and not yet recovered. While the situation is improving in China, Covid-19 is leading to lockdowns in countries like Italy, South Korea and Iran. Due to spiralling numbers, the US and many countries in Europe are staring at a grim situation. German Chancellor Angela Merkel estimates that "up to 70% of the country's population could contract the Coronavirus".The impact of this on global economic growth is going to be huge. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has halved the global gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection for 2020 due to Coronavirus. The disease will obviously impact the Indian economy as well. "The current restrictions will impact most economic activities like travelling, consumption, etc. Manufacturing will be impacted due to supply chain disruptions and this in turn will delay capacity additions and capex spending," says Brinda Jagirdar, Economist, SBI.Crude oil warTo compound the global economic uncertainty, an ill-timed global crude oil war has begun. The demand by Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to further restrict production from April was rejected by Russia, resulting in the scrapping of existing restrictions. Increasing production at a time when demand is low due to the Covid-19 pandemic is bad for the crude oil market. Crude oil prices have crashedFor oil importing countries like India, this fall may be a blessing in disguise. 74623465 "Though there will be counter cyclical rallies during times of central bankers' actions like rate cuts, the outlook is clearly bearish and in worst case, Brent oil can go down to $25 level," says Praveen Singh, AVP, Fundamental Research – Commodities & Currencies, Sharekhan Comtrade. However, the crude oil war is a blessing in disguise for oil importing economies like India. "The negative impact of the pandemic on Indian economy will get cushioned by the fall in crude oil prices because it will help to bring down our current account deficit, fiscal deficit and inflation, etc.," says Jagirdar.Financial sector woesThe domestic consumption slowdown, triggered by the failure of large financial institutions such as IL&FS and DHFL, is still lingering. Now we have another situation in the form of the Yes Bank crisis. Though only time will tell how the Yes Bank fiasco will shape up, the revival package for the bank is a good short-term step. "The Yes Bank crisis seems to be heading for a solution due to government and RBI actions. If that happens, at least one immediate worry will be out of the way," says Sarin.While other commodities are down, gold has gone up because of the demand for a safe haven in uncertainty. The hope of rate cuts by global central bankers (the US Fed has already cut rates by 50 basis points) is also keeping gold demand intact. "Our initial target for gold was $1,700. However, it can go up to $1,800 if Covid-19 is not contained soon and central bankers are forced to come out with more rate cuts," says Singh. The impact gold rally will be more for Indian investors because of the fall in rupee now.Gold becomes attractive in uncertaintyGlobal gold prices are rising but the fall in the rupee will push it up further in India. 74623510 Gold exposure brings down portfolio volatility and experts recommend 5-10% allocation to gold in an individual's portfolio. Investors underweight on gold should add more now. The best way to invest in gold is through gold ETFs or gold bonds, not in physical gold. But don't go overboard. "Gold has already rallied and most of the fear premium is already priced in. Since global gold ETFs are very liquid, there may be profit booking if the price continues to move up," says Lakshmi Iyer, Head of Fixed Income and Product, Kotak Mutual Fund.Stick to short-term debt fundsAnother safe haven asset, government securities, are also rallying. The 10-year US treasury yield is now at 0.75%. The 10-year government bond yield in India is also close to a 10-year low. Since the US Fed has already cut the rates by 50 basis points, the debt market is hoping for a smilar rate cut by RBI to fight the weakness in the domestic economy.10-year govt bond yield is at 10-year lowSince further yield reduction is limited, it is better to be with short term papers. 74623589 Bond yields and prices are inversely correlated and long-duration funds have rallied on these hopes. However, experts say the long-duration rally is over and future returns may not be as good. "The rate cut hopes are already priced in, so the 10-year yield may range between 6% and 6.25% and not offer much further upside from long duration funds. However, Short to medium segment, ie 1-5 year papers, looks attractive now," says Iyer. Dwijendra Srivastava, CIO (debt), Sundaram Mutual Fund concurs with this view. "The duration risk increases with low yield and since the yield is not expected to go down significantly from 6%, there is no reason to take that risk. Better to stay with 2-3 year buckets," he says.Long duration funds rally may be overBond yields are at 10-year low and may not fall further. Short-term funds are better now. 74623606 Equity markets in bear hugWith more than 20% cut in benchmark indices, the Indian equity market has entered the bear market territory. Experts say investors should be cautious and not jump in right now. "Despite the cut, our broader market is still not in cheap valuations zone. However, risk is low here due to lesser leverage in India compared to other markets," says Sarin.Sensex PE is below its 10-year averageWith the market back in the fair valuation zone, long-term investors can get in slowly. 74623642 But the fact that the Indian market is out of the overvaluation zone should provide comfort to long-term investors. The broader market valuation has gone below its 10-year average while the 10-year real return from the Sensex is in the negative. In other words, this turmoil is an opportunity for long-term investors. "If you are a longterm investor with a 5-7 year view, this is a fantastic time to start investing. However, the market could fall another 8-10% in between," says Jimeet Modi, CEO, Samco Securities. Jaspreet Singh Arora, CIO, Equentis Wealth Advisory Servies concurs with this view. "New investors should park around 50% of their equity allocation in the next two weeks and the balance slowly in a staggered manner," he says.10-year Sensex CAGR is below inflationSensex rarely gives negative real CAGR. It has given decent returns after incidents like this. 74623659 Sensex at 2-year low, mid-caps are lowerDue to the deep correction, long-term investors can consider invetsing in mid-caps now. 74623679 5-year SIP returns of Sensex almost zeroFive-year SIP returns of Sensex falling to zero is rare. Future returns have been good. 74623684 Experts are also advising investors to stick to large-caps. "Since large-caps have corrected more than 20% now, you have margin of safety there. Further fall in quality large-caps will be limited. However, that can't be said about mid- and small-caps," says Arora. "It is not the time to get aggressive or adventurous. Instead of searching for small-caps, investors should restrict to quality large-caps that have corrected recently. Among mid-caps, restrict to companies that have low debt and the ones that generate free cash flows," says Modi.Investors with a higher risk appetite can start nibbling at mid-caps, where the cut has been more pronounced. Others can consider getting into this segment through mutual funds. "Investors who want to get into the mid-cap space now should do it through mutual funds. Stagger your investments over the next 12-18 months," says Amit Jain, CEO & Co-Founder, Ashika Wealth Advisors.The market is going through a period of flux and investors need to shift between sectors to make most of it. They need to rebalance from overvalued sectors to undervalued ones and from sectors with bleak prospects to those looking bright. The pharma sector looks attractive now. "Despite the recent outperformance, pharma valuation is still reasonable. Defensive sectors will do well in the coming 1-2 years and pharma is the best candidate," says Jain.Just like pharma will benefit from the Covid-19 spread, there are several other sectors that will directly benefit from the fall in crude oil. "Sectors like paints, speciality chemicals, hair oil, cement, pvc pipes, etc will benefit due to fall in crude prices and therefore, are worth betting on now," says Arora. Though aviation is expected to benefit from crude oil crash, same will be nullified following the fall in traffic due to the pandemic.The entire consumption pack is expected to do badly in the coming months. It is also very overvalued. "Despite the recent cut, FMCG stocks (other than ITC) are still overvalued now," says Jain. Banking and financial services is another sector investors can reduce exposure to now. Though Yes Bank may be saved for the time being, the crisis it created will linger for longer as PSU banks have to bail out weak entities. Private banks are also facing the music due to the Yes Bank incident, with depositors shifting money from small private sector banks to PSU banks. Also, the good private banks are quoting at very high valuations. "We have marginally lowered our BFSI weight because of the increased risk there. Attractive valuation in other sectors is another reason for this reduction," says Arora.
On February 14, an official of the Telangana government's information and public relations team tweeted a graphic with a picture of the state's upcoming "command and control centre", along with a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera. A translation of the Telugu text said thus: "In six months, the command and control building will be ready. One lakh cameras will be processed in under a minute. If you got out for work, by the time you are back 50 cameras can spot you. Every inch of the state will be under police radar. If a crime happens anywhere, there will be information immediately."Safe Hyderabad... Shandaar Hyderabad... https://t.co/pHStUFDXVy— I&PR DD Ramana (@IPR_DD_Ramana) 1581685218000 It wasn't quite a threat.The ongoing construction of the "command and control centre" building or the "twin towers" as it is locally called, at the heart of Hyderabad's Banjara Hills area, is an unmissable sight. A layman could mistake the building for a swanky corporate campus of a large tech company like Facebook or Google — a familiar sight in the city given its rapid, two-decade-long rise as an information technology hub in India.One of the large towers in this building (somewhere around 60% of the construction), Telangana police officials say, would house the Telangana Police's state technology centre and data centres. One entire wing, with a centralised hub of sorts, where the police could access an initial six lakh CCTV cameras, which could potentially rise to ten lakh by the end of 2020. A recent report by the Bureau of Police Research and Development stated that Telangana had installed nearly 64% (or 2,75,528) of all CCTV cameras in India as of January 2019. However, the state's police officials insist that that number has more than doubled to a statewide figure of six lakh, with nearly 50% of those operating in the tri-commissionerates of Hyderabad — Hyderabad city, Rachakonda and Cyberabad. A simple back of the envelope calculation would suggest that Hyderabad (which has 40% of the population of Telangana — 3.52 million people) would have one camera for every 46-47 citizens. But this is not where it ends. Hyderabad, as part of its safe and smart city project, has also deployed an "integrated traffic management system", which uses surveillance cameras and Internet of Things-enabled sensors to detect traffic violations and streamline everyday traffic in key junctions of the city.There's also facial recognition, which the police has been using for various use cases, including identifying and reuniting missing children, and deploying facial recognition cameras in key transit junctions (railway stations and bus stations) to identify known criminals. The government on its part, is also using facial recognition to issue pension certificates and recently, the state election commission used the technology to verify voters in a municipal election in a Hyderabad suburb.74644873 While a lot of these use cases do not yet match up to global numbers or even standards, especially in countries like China, the development comes in the backdrop of a renewed focus around surveillance, data security and privacy around India's technology policy discourse.Scaling the third eyesTelangana's tryst with mass surveillance goes back to its pre-bifurcation days. In 2013, the then united Andhra Pradesh amended its public safety act, making it mandatory for all "establishments" (where a gathering of 100 or more people is expected at a time) to provide access controls and install CCTV surveillance cameras, with "a provision for storage of video footage for 30 days." Once Telangana was born in 2014, the government doubled down on the same, initially following the New York and Chicago prototype."As a new state, it was normal to expect some disturbance. And we had to instil the safety factor in the minds of the people. We had to resort to confidence-building measures," says L Jeevan Reddy, a former IT veteran who is now a consultant with the Telangana Police. Given Andhra Pradesh's legacy of e-governance, it saw technology as the enabler of these measures.And CCTVs, with a law mandating it, became the starting point. "CCTVs, we felt could be the first one. It was a low hanging fruit, in the sense that with relatively less effort, we could get much faster results," Reddy adds. Notwithstanding the infrastructure challenges of network connectivity and power, it went ahead with the plan. Today, Telangana police officials claim a 40% reduction in crime rate across the state, with heinous crimes like chain-snatching reducing 98% from 2014. From an investigation point of view, these officials add, that 99% of suspects are nabbed "within 24 hours of the crime," including the four perpetrators of the Disha rape case, who were later shot dead in an encounter.It adopted a three-pronged approach to scale up its deployment. First, through state government projects and executed by a Chennai-headquartered strategic business unit of Larsen and Toubro — L&T Smart World and Communications. This included 10,000 cameras, storage and backend networking across the three commissionerates of Hyderabad under the "safe and smart city project", which officials describe as an "integrated safe city platform.""This is not just about surveillance, but also process automation. Triggering certain standard operating policing procedures which are typically siloed," says a person aware of the Telangana Police's technology initiatives. He adds, "This would include patrolling, incident management and investigation. So in this case, it would involve enabling field officers with real-time information." At the back-end, the technology it uses includes artificial intelligence, deep tech and machine learning, computer vision, geospatial analysis and IT process automation. "Collectively, it is referred to as augmented intelligence. This is basically AI with human at the centre," the person adds.The second layer is what the Telangana police is a community project, with no or indirect investment from the government, and purely based on investments in CCTVs from a community via corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This includes public sector units or private corporations, besides development funds allotted to members of parliaments and legislative assemblies. These cameras, which are required to cover the interiors of the roads, and entry and exit points of neighbourhoods, are also connected to the central system, besides the local police station, which also acts as a command centre. A proprietary AI algorithm, which uses machine learning (image recognition), the person quoted earlier says, "helps you solve things faster." In Hyderabad city alone, there are 12,000 such cameras, police officials add. The community project has thus far covered more than 1500 kilometres. "Their footprint is very large. It helps us explode into the entire city," says Reddy, before adding, "We have also received good support from internet service providers like ACT Broadband and telecom companies like Jio." In the case of funds involving members of legislative bodies, tendering is used, while for private and corporates, based on the urgency, the Telangana police has empanelled vendors it could procure CCTVs from. In Hyderabad's adjoining commissionerate of Cyberabad, which covers the IT corridor, the corporations and police have come together to set up a "Cyberabad Security Council."The third layer is what the Telangana police calls "Nenu Saitham" or "Me Too" in Telugu, for individual coverage, which it launched in 2017. These involve houses or gated communities and commercial businesses (shops etc) putting up one or two cameras focusing on entry and exit points, parking lots and roads. In the case of liquor shops, a 2017 government order mandated the deployment of two CCTV cameras per store. "This is our force multiplier," says Reddy, while insisting that the police do not have control over these cameras. "These are not integrated into our central system."Today, all of the state's 31 districts follow the same models. "We have standardised the processes and policies to spread it across the state. We have also standardised technology and attributes," insists Reddy, before adding, "No state, or nowhere in the world, has anyone gone to this scale and standardisation."From the eyes to the faceLast Thursday, at the facial recognition unit at command and control centre of the Hyderabad police in Basheer Bagh, an operator zooms into a "hit" (a successful match) he just received — an accused walking out of the Secunderabad railway station, was matched with a database of mugshots of known criminals the police already had, with an accuracy of near 95%. It is all in real-time. As the footage comes in, the facial recognition algorithm, powered by a leading Japanese provider of FRS technology, would separate the images on the video, which is then matched to the database. The database also includes "lists" maintained by the Hyderabad Police, categorised on the type of crimes committed by the accused to lists or profiles like "Naxals".Upon receiving this hit, the command and control centre would then alert the nearest police station to apprehend the person for further questioning, and arrest, if necessary. This was done via the eighteen high-end facial recognition cameras the Hyderabad Police has deployed in key transit locations.The brass tacks of facial recognition technology say that there are 80 nodal points on a face. For a successful match, usually, 14-22 points are needed. Since the deployment of facial recognition cameras in 2018, the Hyderabad police claims to have apprehended 200 people via its facial recognition system (FRS), of which 36 apprehensions have happened this year alone. "FRS is good in a controlled environment," says Reddy. By controlled environment, he means spaces where crowds are regulated. Like railway stations or bus stations, or even airports.Besides, the Telangana police also uses FRS as a feature in an app — TSCOP (Telangana State COP), which allows field constables or officers to click an image of a suspect and run it against a database of known and accused criminals already stored in the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS). "We mostly use this against repeat offenders, especially those involved in property crimes — robbery, snatching, burglary and so on. It is not used against a random citizen," says a senior state Telangana police officer. However, previously, the Telangana Police had tweeted and later deleted images of police officers using the TSCOP app against random citizens. ET has reviewed these images provided by a source. This was confirmed by other Telangana Police sources who said that these tablets can be used to take pictures of any "random person" to check with the database. The source indicated that city police in Hyderabad and some other districts were using it "for random checking." "In their push to become a crime-free city, the cops have made everyone a suspect. In the name of contactless policing, they are pushing facial recognition and CCTVs, but they continue to randomly stop people on the streets and take biometrics to check if they are a criminal. All of these practices without any code of practice or law are dangerous to civil rights and fundamental right to privacy," says Srinivas Kodali, a Hyderabad-based independent researcher and digital rights activist.But beyond apprehending criminals, the women's safety wing of the Telangana Police has resorted to using FRS to track missing children in the state through two annual operations in January and July — Operation Smile and Operation Muskaan respectively. The Telangana police has indigenously built an app — Darpan, which uses facial recognition at the front-end, with AI and deep integration with CCTNS.Darpan, according to an internal instruction manual reviewed by ET, allows field officers to click photographs of children found or "link from photo gallery in the detection tab" to "compare it with those available in the database." In the event of a missing case, registered in any police station across the country, the CCTNS integration "instantly detects and furnishes details, which facilitates in tracking the child." But in the event of no successful match, the app allows a field officer to "enrol the photograph and details of the person", with mandatory data fields such as "Name, Description, Language, Place Found etc."At the backend, Darpan uses batch processing (matching multiple images at a time) to retrieve details of the child, and runs it against a missing and found database. "We already have a database of missing children at the state level through the CCTNS," says Swati Lakra, the inspector general of police for women safety, Telangana. Besides, "the missing data of child care institutions and shelter homes are uploaded on the Darpan app as a database," she adds. Thus far, the Telangana Police has successfully matched 59 missing children, with 29 of them reunited with their families within the state or elsewhere in the country.But this is where things get a little hazy — the enrolment process. Lakra says, "Even if they (police officers who have been given the app) see a child, and are suspicious that the child may be lost or doesn't not have adult supervision on the street, for the sake of ascertaining who the child is, they have to click a picture." This some activists allege could be a violation of the child's right to privacy. However, Lakra insists that data is "well-protected" and is "not for everyone", with "various levels of admin control to restrict access and ensure accountability."Selfie-based governanceIt is not just law and order where the Telangana government has seen use cases in facial recognition. There's also service delivery, where it has now started using emerging technology. For services such as the issuance of a pension life certificate, the Telangana government, through its MeeSeva department's app — T Folio — uses "selfies", as part of its "real-time digital authentication of identity" technology. This is part of its eventual vision of what officials call "contactless governance."The RTDAI technology enables pensioners to click a selfie along with one other identity proof (voter ID, driving license or even RC number) and upload it via the T Folip app, where the Pension Department is also integrated. Upon upload, the backend does a "real-time check" to verify if the image is live (using an AI-based "Liveness" verification), along with demographic matching (between the pension database and the card database using big data and machine learning) and photo matching (deep learning-based "photo comparison"). For this project, the government has acquired three different APIs, which have been integrated at the backend.According to GT Venkateswara Rao, the commissioner of electronic service delivery and special commissioner e-governance in the Government of Telangana, the accuracy of this real-time authentication technology is close to 93%. "It's like a three-factor authentication (liveness + demographic + photo) . It is useful because fingerprints get partially erased in elders," he says. "Twin objectives. For the citizens, it's convenient, and for the government, it's transparency," Rao adds. The government is now likely to extend this technology to other use cases such as elections, marriage certificates, and renewals of driving licences. "We believe that no one should come to the office for any service unless there is an absolute need. This is what contactless and presenceless governance truly is," Rao says, while adding that it is an alternate delivery stream. "It is not mandatory. If people want to visit our offices, they're most welcome to do so."Recently, Telangana's state election commission also experimented with facial recognition for voter identification in ten booths during municipal elections in the Hyderabad suburb of Kompally. Rao insists this was entirely consent-based, as in a voter could opt out of the same if he chose not to. The exercise saw an accuracy of 65-85%, with other states like Haryana interested in replicating this experiment. However, this did not go well with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), who registered a complaint with the state election commission. Asaduddin Owaisi, the AIMIM chief and member of parliament from Hyderabad, told ET in a phone conversation, "The facial recognition done by the state election commission is a direct violation of the Puttaswamy judgment on privacy. At a time when there are no safeguards, and the personal data protection bill is yet to be passed, and the DNA bill is yet to be discussed and debated, how could they use FR for elections? These initiatives violate the Supreme Court judgement."Digital dystopia?While Telangana has been pioneering the use of surveillance and facial recognition in the country, questions remain about the human cost of deploying such technologies. Especially at a time when concepts such as data security and privacy have entered the mainstream policy discourse. Researchers and activists feel that while the law enables the use of such technologies, there are not enough safeguards against it to ensure accountability of the institutions involved.The Telangana police insist that the surveillance data follows a global best practice standard, where it is stored for 30 days before it is automatically written over. "We are not databasing or maintaining that database. In our standardised policies, we believe that 30 days is reasonable retention. Besides, globally, only 5% of all the videos are seen," says Jeevan Reddy, the technology consultant quoted earlier. The person aware of Telangana Police's technology says that there is a need for greater clarity on surveillance data. "It's a global concern. For now, the platform is available only to authorised police users and they ensure three levels of data security — application level, role-based and watermarking," he says. Likewise, while Rao of the Electronic Service Delivery department admits to privacy concerns, he says that "photographs are sensitive (biometric) as compared to fingerprints and iris, and in any case anonymisation is also used."Kodali, the Hyderabad-based independent researcher says, "The push to place more CCTVs across the city without any surveillance law is turning Hyderabad into a digital dystopia. The idea that CCTVs guarantee safety is flawed. The recent rape and murder of a veterinary doctor tell us that it is not possible to prevent crimes. All the CCTVs are doing is giving more power to the police without any checks and balances."Facial recognition too has become a cause of concern, in keeping with global trends. "I have always been opposing facial recognition, and will continue to oppose it," says Owaisi, whose AIMIM is an ally of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti-led government. "I am of the opinion that it will affect common people. The liberty of an individual cannot be compromised in the pretext of convenience. You cannot ignore the entire chapter 3 of the constitution of India," he adds.Apar Gupta, executive director of the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF). "The basis of mass CCTV deployment in Telangana is under the AP Public Safety (Measures) Enforcement, 2013 which predates the 2017 Puttaswamy right to privacy judgment. Under this judgment, the Supreme Court has laid down clear standards of proportionality and necessity which are not present under this law. Hence, the mass CCTV deployment being undertaken in Telangana is unconstitutional."Activists say that the building in Banjara Hills has become a symbol of sorts — of the dystopia that could be coming to Hyderabad, and later the state. "The upcoming command and control centre to store data from the city show us the cops want to increasingly collect more personal information of the citizens," says Kodali. "These ambitions of the police could become dangerous for a society which can't hold them accountable for illegal encounters. With real-time information about the population, the police can crackdown on any form of assembly and they're already doing that with the protests against CAA," he adds.
New Delhi | Mumbai: The Indian Railways is looking to monetise land parcels in smaller towns and cities by leasing them to e-commerce firms for setting up of warehouses.Rail Land Development Authority, a statutory authority, under the Ministry of Railways, for development of vacant railway land for commercial use said it is in talks with Flipkart, the country's biggest online retailer and will soon come out with an expression of interest."Warehousing has a lot of scope and when in in the era of same day delivery, e-commerce would like to have warehouse everywhere. While railway land parcels in key cities have better commercial return, it can be utilized for warehousing in Tier 2 cities. We have identified land within ten kilometres of main railway stations in these towns," Ved Parkash Dudeja, Vice Chairman, RLDA told ET.Flipkart didn't respond to an email query. Walmart-owned Flipkart owns over a dozen warehouses across the country, helping them reduce the delivery time especially in big cities. With smaller towns driving a bulk of their sales with significantly higher growth rates compared to urban centres, experts feel that having warehouses or pick-up point in its proximity could help save logistics costs substantially. But it will work only if ecommerce companies use railway network for delivery. "Land is not an issue for ecommerce players who would rather rely on dedicated sellers and their facilities than invest in setting own warehouses. Such land parcels could work for bulk goods operators or manufacturers and not ecommerce players which have bandwith issues of their own," said Mihir Mehta, founder of VS Omnitrade, a supply chain and consumer goods aggregator firm. Railways have been trying to monetise assets for a while now. In fact, total retail opportunity at redeveloped railway stations is expected to reach $1.9 billion by 2030, from just $ 100 million in 2019, according to Knight Frank that attributes the surge to government's focus on augmenting rail infrastructure and modernising existing stations as an enabler. In addition, the share of tier II cities in the total logistics shipments in India is expected to grow from almost 40% in 2017 to about 50% by 2022 – directly competing with tier I / metro cities in the country, as per real estate consultancy firm CBRE. "The integration of retail and logistics real estate continued to unfold, with e-tailers looking for physical outlets across tier II and tier III markets, and traditional retailers strengthening their online channels and restructuring their warehousing footprint," said Jasmine Singh, nation head – industrial and logistics services, CBRE South Asia.Singh said that the implementation of government initiatives such as the National Logistics Policy and the National E-commerce Policy as well as large-scale infrastructure development are expected to promote investments, thereby improving the overall stock of warehousing space in India.
NEW DELHI: Exporters have lined up applications seeking licence to ship restricted Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients or APIs. The government has received as many as 200 applications from pharma firms in a span of 10 days after it tightened their export norms."We have received about 200 licence applications. We will examine them," said an official in the know of the development.The government, on March 3, restricted the exports of 26 API and formulations, including paracetamol and vitamins B1, B6 and B12 in order to ensure there is no shortage of drugs in India due to the lockdown in China's Hubei's province, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, and a major source of these raw materials.Tinidazole, metronidazole, acyclovir, progesterone, chloramphenicol, erythromycin salts, neomycin, clindamycin salts and ornidazole were the other APIs whose exports are now restricted amid the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) had said in a notification. 74644797 As per industry sources, around 240 licence applications have been referred to the commerce and industry ministry.Drug and pharma exports from India rose 11.7% on year to touch $19.15 billion in the 11 months to February 2020.Though India is a source of about 20% of the world's generic drugs supply, pharma companies in the country are dependent on China for two-thirds of the chemical components needed to make them.Italy, another major API manufacturer, too is hit by the virus. India's API imports are valued at $3.5 billion per year, of which 70%, worth $2.5 billion, come from China. API imports from the US and Italy are pegged at around $400 million."There are different configurations of these raw materials. We will analyse them and then take decisions on the licenses," the official added.The Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil) has flagged that many products which were not listed in the notification but fall under the group of products with the same tariff codes have been kept on hold by the customs authorities.As per Udaya Bhaskar, director-general at Pharmexcil, besides leading to blacklisting of the companies by the procurement agencies and imposition of penalties, the non-supply of one item could result in cancellation of the entire order for all other products."Formulations manufactured for exports as per the specific countries requirements (pharmacopoeia specifications/labels/printing material used) cannot be diverted or utilised in the domestic market," Bhaskar said.Almost 30% of India's pharma exports are to North America, 16% to Europe and 17% to Africa.
It is critical to pick the right stocks in the event of a global downturn. Though the Sensex and the Nifty have dropped 17.5% and mid- and small-cap shares have fallen even more in the past two weeks, the recovery in many of these shares could take a long time. In such a situation, it would be advisable to fall back on quality companies with a proven track record. ET asked brokerages to given their top picks on the basis of cheaper valuations, strong returns on equity (ROE) and stable revenue and profit track record. If the broader market falls, many of these stocks could decline too, but their core strength will help them rebound faster. Here are 10 stocks recommended by analysts for the next one year on the basis of these filters.Bata IndiaBrokerage : EdelweissTarget Price: Rs 2,250 CMP: Rs 1,463The largest shoe retailer with more than 1,300 retail shops in a market which is highly unorganised. Profit growing at 20% largely due to improving margins. Strong cash flow along with 50% core return on capital employed make it a compelling buy.BPCLBrokerage : Emkay GlobalTarget Price: Rs 570 CMP: Rs 376The disinvestment process is set in motion. With oil prices, BPCL should attract active interest from investors. The $20 per barrel fall in oil prices is tempting for the govt to hike autofuel excise as even Rs 4 per litre hike for FY21 potentially mirrors entire BPCL proceeds.Eicher MotorsBrokerage : Motilal Oswal Financial ServicesTarget Price: Rs 24,000 CMP: Rs 17,672Near-term uncertainty notwithstanding, Eicher is best placed for strong recovery from the second-half of FY21 led by new product platform which we expect to expand addressable market for Royal Enfield in India as well as globally.Gujarat GasBrokerage : IIFLTarget Price: Rs 327 CMP: Rs 258Gujarat Gas is expected to maintain its volume growth on account of structural changes (Morbi-like order in other clusters). Benign LNG prices would drive margin and volumes.HDFCBrokerage: Motilal Oswal Financial ServicesTarget Price: Rs 2,875 CMP: Rs 2,067In these difficult times, HDFC has managed to raise liquidity at lower cost than most peers and grow its retail AUM at 15-16% YoY. Asset quality has remained largely stable with gross NPL ratio of 1.35%. The company is likely to gain market share from peers.Hindustan UnileverBrokerage: Motilal Oswal Financial ServicesTarget Price: Rs 2,490 CMP: Rs 2,022HUL, as a result of the positive impact of Coronavirus-linked on sales in its largest segment (skin cleansing), synergies from GSK merger, positive impact of crude price fall and price hikes for soaps are positive for the company.ICICI BankBrokerage: IIFLTarget Price: Rs 640 CMP: Rs 447ICICI Bank has waning asset quality concerns and profitability of subsidiaries is expected to aid earnings growth. Inclination towards retail lending will bring stability to earnings.Reliance IndustriesBrokerage : SharekhanTarget Price: Rs 1,710 CMP: Rs 1,105Reliance Industries stock price has corrected by 34% from its recent 52-week high. Low crude oil prices benefit refiners in terms of lower fuel and higher crude discounts which would cushion weak refining margins.Shree CementBrokerage : ICICI SecuritiesTarget Price : Rs 24,500 CMP: Rs 21,308Shree Cement, which remained resilient for quite some time, gave up suddenly due to a sharp decline in Nifty. Shree Cement would be included in the Nifty. Which is likely to provide support to the stock.Sun PharmaBrokerage : IIFLTarget Price: Rs 500 CMP: Rs 384Sun Pharma, the largest Indian pharma company would benefit on account of its strong footing in India and RoW markets. Even a marginal uptick in speciality revenues would support profitability.
By G Chokkalingam, Founder & CIO Equinomics Research & AdvisoryI have 1,000 shares of Yes Bank at Rs 200. Should I hold this for long term?-SAGAR AGARWALUnfortunately, you are forced to hold 75% of your shares for a period of three years. However, I suggest you hold entire holdings for the long-term as the move by the government to involves major players of the banking system to take controlling equity stake in this bank is a positive development not only for the economy but also for the public shareholders. Instead of single government-owned bank taking sole burden of a failed bank, the government's move to involve several large private banks is a well-thought out strategy in my view. Apart from bringing in stability to Yes Bank, the combined efforts of banking leaders would also create equity wealth for the shareholders in the long-term.I am holding 2000 shares of Vedanta at Rs 355. When do you expect it to recover to the same level?-NIKHIL GHELANIIt might take several years for you to recover this original cost as all its major products (like oil and metals) are badly affected by the global deflationary conditions, first caused by the trade war and now aggravated by the spread of Covid-19. However, you may hold the stock with a target price of around Rs 140 for the next two years as the world would eventually come out of the current deflationary conditions.I am holding 200 units of Jamna Auto at an average price of Rs 35.35. What should I do?-PRIYAM JAINYou may book losses even if it recovers marginally by about 5% as its valuation is stretched and the current deflationary conditions are not conducive for the automobile industry. You may re-enter the stock if it falls below Rs 20.I have 400 shares of Bhansali Engineering Polymers at Rs 74.5. Should I hold it or sell it out?-SANJAY TAMREIf you are willing to take another 10% risk, then you may hold this stock as it is likely to benefit from cheap oil prices in the medium term. Once the economy stabilizes after COVID-19 tapers off, the performance of this company, which is one of the two strong players in ABS products, is likely to improve significantly.I have Escorts shares at Rs 792 and Titan at Rs 798. Should I hold these shares or sell?-JATIN SHARMAYou may hold Escorts for the long-term. Considering the rich valuation and current socio-economic conditions, you may book profit in Titan now and re-enter the stock if it falls 10% or more.Please send your queries on Stocks to et.stocks@timesgroup.com; Mutual Funds to et.mfs@timesgroup.com; Tax to et.tax@timesgroup.com; Insurance to et.insurance@timesgroup.com; Realty to et.realty@timesgroup.com.
BENGALURU: Indian IT companies have asked their clients for waivers to let employees on projects work from home and are testing their systems, a key requirement before they can implement any widespread measure to allow their lakhs of employees to stay home. Business continuity plans typically allow a subset of employees to work from home, with work also getting distributed to other cities as employees travel between them. But the spread of Covid-19 to multiple metro cities could result in centres across the country shutting down, requiring broader work-from-home authorisations. "We need the waivers because some service agreements stipulate a high level of security in the development centre. Some employees have WFH (work-from-home) authorisations, but we have not prepared country-wide work-from-home requirements," a senior IT services executive said. He said clients were open to issuing the waivers but there were some projects that were governed by stricter privacy and data security laws that were harder to transition. The spread of the coronavirus is causing issues for IT services companies and they are just beginning to evaluate the impact. Genpact, one of the largest business process management companies, said it was unsure of the impact the spread of the virus would have on its 2020 guidance and warned about the risks of its spreading in a major delivery location like India. "It could impair our ability to manage day-to-day service delivery for certain clients or at certain sites and result in, among other things, losses of revenue and inadvertent breaches of our client contracts if a large number of our employees, or a group of employees in the same service line or who serve the same clients, were unable to work at the same time," Genpact told the US Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month. Tech services firms Wipro, Infosys and Cognizant said they had contingency plans, but did not specifically answer ET's queries whether they had sought waivers from clients to allow WFH. A Wipro spokesperson said the company had scheduled situation assessment calls periodically with teams in affected geographies. IT services experts expect to see more companies seeking waivers as the intensity of the pandemic increases. "Given the current scenarios, many firms have requested waivers from their clients and received such. We expect this to increase as the spread continues, except for situations with privacy and security requirements at a country-to-country specific basis," Constellation Research principal analyst Ray Wang said. Analysts said most work, though, was easy to move to a work-from-home model and that contracts had 'force majeure' clauses that would allow for it. "There may be some instances where the client would feel that the work could not be protected and in these cases no work would be done. However, this is likely to be only a very small portion of the work," said Peter Bendor-Samuel, the CEO of IT consultancy Everest Research. He added that IT companies had been preparing for the contingency by upgrading their networks and testing procedures. "One of the critical challenges will be to establish the necessary management and oversight procedures and to ensure that their workforce has adequate in-home network connections," Bendor-Samuel said.

Retailers and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies said there are no shortages and that they will speed up supplies to shops besides seeking to curb hoarding. They said sales are up 15-45% depending on the category.Products such as rice, atta, pulses, edible oil, sugar, biscuit, tea, instant noodle, butter, frozen food, soaps, handwashes and floor cleaners are flying off the shelves in Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Ahmedabad, said executives of Future Group, Grofers, Spencer's Retail and sellers on Amazon and Flipkart.Other big sellers are sanitisers, floor cleaners, honey, chyawanprash, toilet paper, tissues and wet wipes. Sites are trying to clamp down on anyone trying to corner goods in high demand."Supply has not been an issue so far," said Grofers CEO Albinder Dhindsa. "We are also taking a hard approach to hoarding of essential commodities. A lot of people are trying to game the system to acquire items and we are working proactively to block them and make sure essential supplies are available to genuine customers."The closure of offices, malls, schools, colleges, multiplexes, pubs and restaurants by almost all state governments along with work-fromhome directives have also boosted in-home consumption. 74644172 "Panic buying is happening and likely to continue for at least one two weeks more," said biscuit maker Parle Products category head Mayank Shah. "We have received frenzied calls from the trade to supply stock since the pipeline has become almost dry. There is 15-20% increase over usual sales."E-grocer BigBasket said it has witnessed demand double over the past few days across cities, with order values going up 20% on average.

Orders are up 45% by number and 18% by value, it said.The unprecedented demand has led to delays, with the shortage of delivery personnel adding to the bottleneck. Some fast-moving staples like onions, potatoes, rice, and wheat, are stocked out across platforms, said online grocery firms.Others, which are also dependent on imports such as coffee, diapers, dry fruits, oils and cereals, are expected to run into a supply crunch, executives at these firms said."Our business is very capacity dependent and you cannot create new capacity which includes storage and manpower overnight," said Hari Menon, CEO, BigBasket.FMCG companies ITC Ltd, Parle Products, Amul and Godrej Consumer are rushing stock to stores and said supplies of high-selling categories would meet demand. Amul managing director RS Sodhi said ecommerce platforms and kiranas have reported a surge in demand, some selling out next week's stock on Saturday itself.'RAMPING UP DELIVERY'"We have started ramping up our ecommerce and home delivery," said Devendra Chawla, managing director of Spencer's Retail and Nature's Basket.In a note to consumers, Future Group CEO Kishore Biyani said the retailer has taken note of higher demand for certain categories and is working hard to replenish shelves quickly.Executives said retailers and ecommerce firms have started to stock up on the 100 most-sold products in their stores to ensure that they can continue supplies in case of any uncertainty.Reliance Retail CEO (grocery) Damodar Mall said the priority is to ensure essentials are available and at continued fair prices. Future Group's Big Bazaar stores in Delhi-NCR, Kerala and Bengaluru have seen demand for food items like rice, flour, dal, milk surge 15-20% over last several days.Hand sanitisers of leading brands remain in short supply.Godrej Consumer Products MD Vivek Gambhir said the company has ramped up production.Two leading FMCG sellers on Amazon and Flipkart said sales have risen 15%.

These firms typically make early-morning deliveries before 7 am, for a select set of grocery items and milk.Two-hour delivery service Amazon Now has also been incurring delays while Flipkart Supermart is seeing orders being delayed by more than a day. This is due to a mix of increased demand and a lack of delivery personnel. Amazon and Flipkart did not respond to ET's separate email on this matter. Source: ET
Maruti, Hyundai and Toyota take measures to combat coronavirus, restrict travel NEW DELHI: India's leading automakers — Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor India, and Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) — have initiated a slew of measures including thermal screening and restricting employee travel for business meetings to check the spread of COVID-19. Hyundai Motor India Managing Director S S Kim told ET: "We already issued advisories to our dealers in terms of making accessible sanitisers, conducting temperature checks, and maintaining physical distance at showrooms. On top of that, we actually we developed an online sales system "Click to Buy". I think in the current situation, this might be a great option for customers who want to buy a car but do not want to go to any crowded area."The company has started monitoring the body temperature of all employees across offices and factories on a daily basis. Even vendors and guests are being granted entry into the premises after thermal screening. While international travel plans stand cancelled, employees have been advised not to travel for domestic meetings, unless absolutely necessary.At Maruti Suzuki, employees are being issued regular advisory and bulletins from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO). The company has ensured adequate access to sanitizers within the company premises. It has also directed all employees to declare their travel history if they have travelled overseas in the past two weeks. They are advised self-quarantine as per guidance from the CMO."Employees have been requested to avoid large gatherings, meetings and events. Employees across plants, regional offices are being advised to extensively use teleconferencing and video conference facilities. Besides, we are limiting the entry of guests and visitors in office. We are requesting visitors to share travel history as well", said a spokesperson at Maruti Suzuki.In order to maintain an uncontaminated environment at the workplace, Toyota said it has suspended the fingerprint biometric attendance system as a preventive measure. Employees are also being encouraged to maintain social distancing, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth, practice respiratory hygiene, wash hands more often and stay at home if they see any COVID-19 symptoms. The company has also released strict advisory to minimize domestic and restrict international travel to severely affected regions.74644169 The probable impact on vehicle sales, automakers said, due to the outbreak of coronavirus though is difficult to ascertain at the moment. While Maruti Suzuki said it is too early to give any sales guidance, Kim said that sales of automobiles may not be hit adversely due to the outbreak of coronavirus with consumers starting to prefer safe personal mobility solutions.
