Hero MotoCorp to restart production with minimum staff after 44-day shutdown
"For the first time ever, Hero along-with the rest of the industry registered zero sales in the domestic market in April 2020"
India's largest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp on Monday said it would restart production at three of its factories in India from Wednesday. The company had shut down all the plants in India as well as those in Bangladesh and Colombia on March 22, three days ahead of the mandatory coronavirus lockdown announced by the government, in the wake of the spread of coronavirus pandemic.
The company said it intends to reopen its factories in Gurgaon, Dharuhera and Haridwar from today before commencing operations in a graded manner from Wednesday. Operations at its global parts centre in Neemrana would also be restarted at the same time.
It has also obtained necessary permissions to restart operations at its other factories in Gujarat and Karnataka but those would be operational only after the entire supply chain network is restored. The company said only essential staff would report to work at these factories as well as its corporate office in Delhi while remaining employees shall continue to work from home.
"We are now ready to hit the ground sprinting as we commence the re-opening of our facilities. The well being of the citizens continues to be our focus and the running of our economic engines is crucial to ensure their health and prosperity. With meticulous planning and enthusiasm, we are set to recommence operations. I am optimistic that business and the economy will begin the trajectory of its gradual recovery from here," said Dr Pawan Munjal Chairman, Hero MotoCorp.
For the first time ever, Hero along-with the rest of the industry registered zero sales in the domestic market in April 2020.
