Maruti Suzuki will shut production and office operations at its facilities in Gurugram and Manesar, Haryana with immediate effect till further notice.
The R&D centre at Rohtak will also remain closed. The duration of this shutdown will depend upon Government policy, the company said in a statement.
Maruti Suzuki has been taking all recommended precautions in its operations against the spread of COVID-19, which includes sanitisation and hygiene, temperature checks, maximising video-conferencing and minimising contact, closing employee travel, health and distancing advisories to employees and following all government directions on the subject.
As a next step, the Government policy now requires closure of production and accordingly the company has taken a decision on production closure, it added.
