SCL-India Survey 2020-21: On the Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic on the Construction and Infrastructure Industry

Abstract

SCL-India, with the support of the Western-India Chapter, took the initiative to create a national resource of information for and by the construction and infrastructure industry about the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19), force majeure events, and the delivery of services. We believe that the survey has helped us identify current and future legal needs arising from the pandemic and related lockdown measures. The Reporters, Gracious Timothy Dunna and Ronak Desai, created the Survey and prepared the following Report, after receiving comments from members of SCL India. SCL-India welcomes comments, feedback, and observations concerning the Survey and the Report for inclusion and implementation by SCL-India.
