 A truckers‘ strike across India, that began on July 20, is affecting e-commerce deliveries as well. The All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC), the body which has organised the strike, is demanding a cut in federal and state levies on diesel by bringing the fuel under the scope of the nationwide Goods and Service Tax.

“The delivery of products in a few cities has been impacted and we are working closely with these customers to get their orders to them quickly,” an Amazon spokeswoman said.

India‘s Snapdeal, which counts Japan‘s among its investors, said the slowdown of long-haul transportation had hit some of its deliveries in northern and western India.

“We have partially mitigated delays by re-allocating shipments as per operational capacities of our logistics partners,” a spokesman for Snapdeal said, adding that it had informed buyers and sellers about the delays.

Cotton ginning factories are on the verge of closure because of the lack of raw material, said Atul Ganatra, president of Cotton Association of India: “The shipment of cotton has stopped, leading to non-fulfilment of obligations by the exporters resulting in the problems of cancellation and delayed shipment.”

According to lakenormanreview.com, the supply of vegetables like onions and potatoes has also fallen in big cities including financial capital Mumbai and national capital Delhi.
