In the fourth extension of the nationwide lockdown in India, e-commerce companies have now been allowed to deliver essential and non-essential items to all zones in the country, except for containment zones.
Earlier, e-commerce companies were allowed to deliver non-essential items only in green and orange zones in the country.
However, this relaxation in e-commerce activities is subject to approval from the respective state governments. A state can choose to keep e-commerce restricted to only essentials in red zones.
