MCCIA spokesperson said, “There is still some effect of the pandemic on the informal sector, as well as Tier III or IV suppliers in the market. Their recoveries have been slow due to multiple factors, including the pandemic and commodity prices. But various indicators, such as the low unemployment rate in Maharashtra, or the FDI inflows, or a steady rise in demand for electricity, point to real signs of recovery.”
