By considering India's population against their available medical facility and general public's awareness on corona, I am afraid their lock down precaution measurements may not serve its actual purposes.
Things are different in different states in India, Kerala does have good medical facility and the government is providing free treatment and food for the patients and there are no death till now and it is the first state that got affected in India because of its high NRI population, the situation in Mumbai is that the government has ordered a complete lock down including grocery stores and people are still moving outside their houses even in this situation.
The only possibility will be, if their current lock down precaution works as expected then we may expect IPL matches to happen behind locked doors. Yes, government and BCCI may plan for IPL matches without allowing viewers into stadium.
There is no way that a group sport can happen even behind locked doors, if there is a extended lock down there is no way the rule will allow a sport like cricket as every team consist of 15 members then their coaching team and a minimum of 100 personal will be present and considering those it is hard to assume we will see a match.
Just today, 2020 Japan Olympics got postponed by a year. There will be no surprises if same happens to 2020 edition of IPL as well.
The biggest difference is that IPL is conducted every year and they have to cancel this years event and then carry on with the even as usual from next year while Olympics is conducted once every 4 years
