INDIA is planning to allow e-commerce companies to deliver non-essentials from April 20, reports said.
This is believed to be a major relief for people across the country which is under a 40-day lockdown.
Currently, e-tailers in India are only permitted to deliver essential food and medical supplies.
They are operating with less manpower due to ongoing restrictions.
Starting from April 20, e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal and Paytm Mall can operate normally.
Reports say that Flipkart, Paytm Mall and Snapdeal are preparing to resume full operations from April 20. Amazon is waiting for some clarifications from the home ministry, it is learnt.
To facilitate e-commerce firms to restart full operations, the revised MHA guidelines allow all goods traffic to ply during the lockdown.
As per the guidelines issued on Wednesday (15), vehicles used by e-commerce operators will be allowed to ply with necessary permissions.
Movement of trucks with two drivers and one helper is allowed as is the opening of shops for truck repairs and dhabas on highways with a stipulated minimum distance prescribed by the authorities.
