In addition, leather and footwear, electronics, electrical and textile machinery industries are also in a downturn. Respondents believe that India’s manufacturing industry has a bleak prospect in the short term, and only 22% of respondents plan to increase investment and expand production capacity in the next half year. 85% of respondents said they could not hire more workers within three months.

Affected by the epidemic, many industries are also plagued by labor shortage. Textile and textile machinery industries can only recruit one-third of workers, and only about 35% of workers in automobile, leather and footwear come to work in factories. These industries are facing the serious problem of labor shortage.
