CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.continuum.io/pk gs/r/win-64/repodata.json.bz2>

Question

I need to install Tensorflow and was trying to add up environment first. But I get HTTP Connection Failed error. I'm behind a corporate proxy and already defined them well in .condarc file. Here is the error I'm getting:

C:\Users\Rahul\Downloads>conda create -n tensorflow python=3.6 anaconda
Solving environment: failed
CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url 
<https://repo.continuum.io/pk
gs/r/win-64/repodata.json.bz2>
Elapsed: -
An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your 
way.
ConnectionError(MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='repo.continuum.io, por
t=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /pkgs/r/win-64/repodata.json.bz2 (Caused

000001A00393C88>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11002] getaddrinf
o failed',))",),)

I posted this issue in their issue tracker here in detail: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7283

As mentioned in issue tracker, I already tried resetting ssl, adding condarc file etc. But no luck so far. My proxy is working as expected and my entries in condarc file are correct. Also continuum repository is accessible via browser without issues.

None of the commands like conda update or conda install works and gives the same error stack while executing.

What might be going wrong here?
