- To generate revenues in the times of coronavirus crisis, several states have increased the prices of petrol and diesel by adding Value Added Tax and cess. On Thursday, the Nagaland government joined the list of states to do so. The government announced cess of ₹6 per litre on petrol and ₹5 per litre on diesel from now on. 
- Liquor shops across the country did roaring business on the second day on Tuesday after the government allowed sale during the lockdown, as cities witnessed long queues — and less chaos — all through the day.
- Even as the Ministry of Home Affairs has directed the Indian Railways to operate Shramik special trains to move migrant workers, pilgrims and students, stranded in various States during the lockdown, the Railway Board has announced extra charges, in addition to the normal sleeper class fare, to be collected from the passengers. The extra charges came into force from May 1.
- India will begin flights on Thursday to bring home some 400,000 citizens stranded overseas by travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, prompting some worries over the risk that imported infections could fuel contagion in the country.
