Maruti Suzuki to resume production from second-half of June 1

Two days ago, Maruti Suzuki had to shut down manufacturing operations at both of its plants in Manesar and Gurgaon after a fire broke out at the production facility of one of its component suppliers. But, the Japanese automaker has now officially confirmed that it will be resuming production at the Gurgaon plant from the second half of June 1, 2016.

Maruti suspended production at both its plants in Manesar and Gurgaon after its AC compressor supplier M/s Subros Ltd, suffered a huge fire at its Manesar plant on the night of May 29.

Regarding the Manesar production facility, Maruti has claimed that certain operations including casting and transmission manufacturing will resume from the second half of June 1, though full operations will be resumed at a later date.

Maruti's official statement further suggested that the automaker is working with Subros to arrange an alternate component supply route from other manufacturing plants, so that normal operations can be resumed at the earliest.
