Abstract

We all know that Covid-19 pandemic is the most dangerous threat to the human civilization in the present time. The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has affected almost every corner of the globe. It has affected not only the human life but also the Socio-economic, Political, Cultural, Emotional and even the Spiritual orientation of the most of the people of the world. Nobody is safe now a day. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime. Everywhere there is a tremendous uncertainty and fear of death.

Between January 2020 and March 2020, COVID-19 spread to most countries of the world, with countries imposing international travel bans and region wide lockdowns, to control the spread of the virus. The imposition of such strict measures had an impact on various businesses across the world, including the business of sports. In India, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) imposed the first phase of lockdown on March 25, 2020, which was thereafter extended on multiple occasions and was in force till May 31, 2020.

Sports world is not free from this. They are facing a huge degree of risk and uncertainty due to this Covid-19 pandemic. In a recent survey conducted by CMIE (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy), it has observed that the major Indian Sports equipment manufacturing companies like Cosco Sports, Nivia, Metco Sport Private Limited, Cricket Stuff, National Sports, Stag International, Monika Sports Industries, Bhalla international etc. have either temporarily suspended or significantly reduced their operations due to the tremendous uncertainty arising from this Covid-19 pandemic. This paper intends to explore an assessment of Covid-19 pandemic and Indian Sports industry.
