Lockdown, Day 36: India sets off rating alerts India crossed two grim milestones in the last 24 hours, with the total number of cases topping 30,000 — ending the day at 31,411 — and the death toll going past 1,000. Both the number of new cases, at 1,897, and fatalities (73) reported in the last 24 hours, were the highest reported in a single day so far. Mumbai alone has now reported more than 6,000 cases. Meanwhile, India's economic outlook is getting bleaker by the day. Fitch slashed the GDP estimate to 0.8% from 5.6% in December. Moody's downgraded India's growth estimate to 0.2% from 2.5% it had assessed in March. Here are the developments so far...
