Abstract: This article estimates the first-order supply shock through labour supply reduction associated with the containment measures taken by the Government of India to control COVID-19 spread. We provide the estimates for Lockdown 1.0 and Lockdown 2.0, from 25 March to 3 May 2020, when india had the highest stringency measures in the world.
