Hours after putting out an order to completely shut down all private companies, corporate offices and establishments excluding essential services across the city, the civic chief revised the order, excluding ongoing public infrastructure projects wherever development of water, sewerage, transportation, roads are involved. This means coastal road work and all the road and bridges work will go on.

Also, stock exchange, clearing corporations, depositories, stockbrokers and SEBI registered participants can work. Production, transportation and supply chain, e-commerce of all essential goods including food, pharmaceuticals, pest control and medical equipment, warehouses, grocery, grain will work uninterruptedly. IT enabled services and data centres needed for continuity of IT services and foreign consulates are also excluded. The order, however, does not mention the duration of the shutdown.
