Covid-19: Hero MotoCorp suspends production as a precaution

Factories will remain shut for four days in a staggered manner between April 22 – May 1, 2021.

Hero MotoCorp has decided to temporarily halt operations at all of its manufacturing plants across India, including the Global Parts Centre (GPC), in view of the rising Covid-19 cases in the country.

All manufacturing units and the GPC will remain shut for four days in a staggered manner between April 22 – May 1, 2021, depending on the local situation.

The company has stated that the necessary maintenance work will be carried out at all manufacturing plants during this shutdown. The company claims that the shutdown will not impact its ability to meet demand, which has already been affected by localized shutdowns in many states. The production loss will be compensated during the remainder of the quarter.

All plants will resume normal operations post this short shutdown period. All corporate offices of the company are already in Work from Home (WFH) mode and a limited number of employees are in offices on a rotation basis for the continuity of essential services.
