Maruti resumes production at 2 plants in Jat stir-hit Haryana

NEW DELHI, Feb 23:

The country’s largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India today resumed production at its two manufacturing facilities in Haryana after two days of suspension due to the Jat reservation agitation in the state.

The suspension of work at the two plants, located at Gurgaon and Manesar in Haryana, resulted in production loss of around 10,000 units to the company.

“The company has resumed production of vehicles at its facilities in Gurgaon and Manesar starting Tuesday second half. The supply of components has started gradually,” Maruti Suzuki India said in a regulatory filing.

Shares of the company declined nearly 1 per cent to close at Rs 3,492.50 on the BSE today.

The company had to suspend operations at its facilities from Saturday, February 20 (second half) as supply of certain components was disrupted due to the Jat agitation in Haryana, it added.

The two plants put together roll out some 5,000 units of vehicles a day.

Curfew today remained in force in Hissar, Hansi and Bhiwani towns in Haryana while a four-hour relaxation was given in the worst-hit Rohtak district as Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited the town.(Agencies)
