Less workers congregating will help stop the spread of the pandemic

Hero MotoCorp has suspended its operations at all its manufacturing facilities for four days in a staggered manner till May 1, 2021. Hero is the first among the big manufacturing organizations to announce a shutdown without any mandate or instructions from the administration.

In a statement issued last week, the company said, “In keeping with its commitment to the safety and welfare of its people, Hero MotoCorp has decided to proactively halt operations temporarily at all of its manufacturing facilities across the country, including its Global Parts Center (GPC), in view of the ongoing escalation in the spread of Covid-19 across the country.”

One of the biggest two-wheeler manufacturers in the world, Hero MotoCorp has six manufacturing plants with a total manufacturing capacity of 11.6 million units. Its plants are located in Haridwar, Dharuhera, Gurgaon, Neemrana, Vadodara and Chittoor.

The company also said it would utilise the shutdown to carry out necessary maintenance work in its manufacturing plants. Stating that each of its plants and GPC will remain shut for four days in a staggered manner between April 22 and May 1, 2021, it said the shutdown will not impact the company’s ability to meet the demand and that the production loss will be compensated during the remainder of the quarter.
