The company said all possible measures and preparations are being made to resume production soon, to cater to the immediate mobility needs of our customers, at the earliest. Our focus will be to cater to pending orders that could not be met due to the non-production days of the planned annual maintenance shutdown, followed by the state government’s lockdown announcement. Moreover, we are also focusing on vaccinating both our employees and their families and extending our support to have dealer and supplier staff vaccinated too for ensuring lower risk & severity of infections.
