The Government of India once again extends lockdown amid the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the country but this time, there is some good news for consumer technology. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has allowed e-commerce platforms to start selling goods non-essential during the third lockdown, which means we could be shopping for a new smartphone, laptop, and other electronic goods. However, the provisions apply in this case.

The Government stated that the e-commerce platform will be able to provide non-essential items only in areas that have been marked under the orange and green zones.

That said, MHA said that the postal and courier services will be active in all areas.

With the delivery of the goods of non-essential is allowed, it will benefit those who have long wanted to go shopping for a new cell phone or laptop.
