Honda Cars India announced on Thursday that it is advancing the maintenance shutdown at its Rajasthan-based manufacturing plant by approximately ten days in response to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. To combat the spread of coronavirus infections, the Japanese automaker has decided to shut down production at its Tapukara-based plant for 12 days beginning May 7.

Honda has announced that production at the manufacturing facility will be halted from May 7 to May 18. Beginning May 19, the automaker will resume manufacturing operations.

The closure of the annual maintenance block was originally scheduled for the middle of May 2021.

The Tapukara plant of HCIL has an installed production capacity of 1.8 lakh units per year. Employees from the company's corporate and zonal offices who work in all functions have been asked to work from home. According to Honda, only a few associates involved in running essential services that require physical presence for a few critical activities are in the office.

Honda is not the first automaker to take such precautions in light of the growing number of positive Covid-19 cases. Mahindra & Mahindra, too, announced earlier this week that the annual maintenance plant shutdown would be moved to May.

Other automakers, including Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, MG Motor India, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), and Suzuki Motorcycle India, have already announced a temporary halt in manufacturing operations in response to the increase in Covid-19 cases.

China announced Wednesday that key companies can resume work in coronavirus (Covid-19) hit Wuhan, in another sign authorities are confident the quarantined city is winning its battle against the epidemic.

The decision came a day after President Xi Jinping paid his first visit to the capital of Hubei province since it was placed under lockdown in late January after the outbreak became a national emergency.

The number of daily new cases has fallen steadily in Wuhan in recent weeks, while all other cities in Hubei have reported zero fresh CoronaVirus infections for several days in a row -- prompting Xi to declare that the spread of the virus has been "basically curbed" in the province.

The Hubei provincial government said Wednesday that Wuhan businesses involved in providing daily necessities, prevention and control of the epidemic, or in the operations of public utilities, are among those that can resume work and production immediately.

Wuhan firms that are key to "global industrial chains" may do so as well, after getting approval, the government added.

Other companies are expected to resume production only after March 20.

Japanese carmaker Honda said on Wednesday that some of its staff have started going to work in its Wuhan plant.

Honda has also begun production of a "small number of vehicles" while checking on its production equipment starting Wednesday. Similar rules apply to areas outside Wuhan that are considered high-risk, where companies involved in epidemic prevention, public utilities and providing necessities are among those that may resume work.

In areas considered medium or low risk, there is a broader range of companies allowed to return to work.

Passenger flights, trains, cars, ships and city buses in middle and low-risk areas moving within the province and excluding Wuhan will "gradually resume operations" as well, although no time frame was given. But authorities said they will continue strict control measures on channels out of Wuhan and Hubei.

The announcement came a day after Hubei authorities loosened travel restrictions, allowing people from medium and low-risk areas to move within the province if their health code is labelled "green".

A mobile app will be used to give residents a coloured health code. Green indicates holders have no contact with virus cases, while those with yellow codes are close contacts.

Confirmed or suspected cases will get a red code and must be quarantined. Authorities added in the latest statement on Wednesday that outside of Wuhan, a "point-to-point" system will be adopted to send employees back to work, and help those stranded in Hubei to return home.

Schools will continue to be suspended in Hubei. Wuhan city has been on lockdown since January 23 as China scrambled to contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus, which has now killed over 3,100 and infected nearly 81,000 in the country.

Other cities in Hubei soon followed suit, placing a total of around 56 million people under quarantine. Most of China's cases and deaths came from Hubei, with the majority in Wuhan.

But with cases falling dramatically in the province, residents have been clamouring for restrictions to be eased.

Honda has unveiled the Honda N7X Concept SUV, a new 7-seater SUV concept. Honda's newest 7-seater SUV for South Asian markets will be this concept SUV.

The N7X concept is rumored to be the successor to the Honda BR-V, which was previously available in a number of markets, including India. "At the moment, this concept car does not refer to a specific model. At the moment, we are not discussing this concept in relation to the Mobilio, BR-V, or other models. We are only a world premiere concept car at this time "PT Honda Prospect Motor's Business Innovation and Sales & Marketing Director, Yusak Billy, stated.

Honda may consider bringing the N7X SUV to India, as compact three-row seven-seater SUVs are the new segment cultured by carmakers here. Honda currently has no vehicles in this category. It has only one SUV model in the country, the WR-V. If Honda decides to bring the N7X SUV to India, it will compete with the likes of the Hyundai Alcazar and the Tata Safari, among others.

The N7X Concept, which was introduced in Indonesia, is the result of several Honda studies in which the advantages of minivans and SUVs are combined, including the capacity for seven passengers. Its exterior design is similar to that of other models from the brand, such as the City HB and the new HR-V.

The concept has LED headlights and stops, underbody guards, and a straight-lined design. In order to improve lighting and access to the cabin, there are also large windows and wide doors. At the back, the N7X has thinner and sharper headlights, as well as LED graphics resembling a Honda City sedan. The tailgate doors are also simpler and neater—no more reflector bars connecting the two lights and a flatter surface, while the plate number housing remains underneath.

There are no photos of the interior, but Honda claims that comfort and space were important factors in its development.
Honda has not provided any specifics about the engine or technology that will be used in this SUV. According to reports, the SUV will be powered by a 1.5-litre engine and will only have front-wheel drive.

"The N7X is, in fact, a concept car, and we are unable to provide more information about the mass production plan. The N7X, on the other hand, was created as a Honda concept car for seven passengers. And, once again, because this car is the world premiere in Indonesia and research is being conducted in Indonesia, there is a strong possibility that it will be mass-produced in Indonesia. We will be waiting for the next GIIAS to present our excitement "Billy stated.
