Brigade Malls in Bengaluru is extending a 50% rebate on rent to its tenants from mid-March until its two malls reopen. Phoenix High Street Mall in Mumbai is giving retailers the option of paying March-June rents together in July, according to two top retail executives.

LG, Samsung, Vivo and Xiaomi are also rolling out hyperlocal sales platforms that will connect their offline stores to consumers searching products online so that the outlet nearest to the consumer can deliver the order, industry executives said.

Lockdown could see at least 20% of Indian retailers collapse or wind up their business in next few months. “Ever since the lockdown was imposed on 24th March, the Indian retail sector has lost a gigantic sum of approximately Rs 5.50 lakh crore in this period and is likely to witness at least 20% of Indian retailers collapse and wind up their businesses in the next few months,” CAIT said.

Following these challenging times, CAIT has urged the government to award a substantial package to traders to ensure their survival. COVID-19 has caused a huge dent in retail trade which will have a devastating effect on the whole country, CAIT Secretary-General Praveen Khandelwal said.

Deals on grocery and FMCG had evaporated days before lockdown in March last week when panic buying had started.

Ecommerce leaders including Amazon and Flipkart have been able to recover only one-fifth of their pre-Covid-19 demand even after they opened up sales of non-essentials across smaller towns and cities which fall under the Green and Orange zones, as per analysts and industry insiders.

Large operators of malls such as Xander-backed Virtuous Retail, Select Group, Phoenix Group and Blackstone-backed Nexus have not waived rentals for their tenants.

Kishore Biyani is planning to sell a massive stake to Amazon in an attempt to keep its crown jewel afloat.

"If such payments are made, the business of the traders will fall like anything and in absence of any inflow of money, such payments will be disastrous for the retail trade of the country and in turn will badly affect the economy," CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said in the letter to Goyal.
