Maruti Suzuki has re-started some operations at its Manesar plant, the India’s top passenger car maker said Tuesday. The operations are focused in high automation areas of the plant, it said.
Production at Maruti’s plant in Manesar, Haryana came to a halt on Monday after the company suspended 21 employees on charges of sabotaging operations and deliberately causing quality problems in the vehicles manufactured at the plant. It had further suspended 16 more workers on Tuesday.
Maruti is now tapping new trained people from technical institutes who it aims to employ in the next couple of days to ramp up production.
"In the last 30 hours since production came to a halt, the company’s managers and engineers have been scouting for experienced and ITI trained manpower in the Manesar belt. By the end of the day today, they had identified over 200 people and expressed confidence that production would be ramped up in the next few days. These 200 people are likely to join in the next 2-3 days on a contract basis," Maruti said.
Maruti had asked all its workers at the plant to sign a Good Conduct bond, seeking an assurance that they will not indulge in activities that would hamper normal production.
It said 11 more workers signed the bond today, taking the total to 36 workers. 25 workers had signed the good conduct bond on Monday.
