ABSTRACT: This study analyses the impact of Covid -19 induced lockdown on retail sector based on the
information collected through convenience sampling from Nilambur Muncipality in Kerala. This
study looks at the condition of retailers and retail workers in the pre and post lockdown period
and also looks at how much government intervention has benefited to retailors during the
lockdown period. The sample evidence shows that the sudden pandemic and subsequent
lockdown caused huge losses to retailors in Nilambur municipality who had to close their shops
for months. It was also revealed that the intervention of the government and KVVES in the retail
sector during the lockdown was not satisfactory.
