Maruti Suzuki on Monday announced a temporary suspension of production at its manufacturing facilities in Gurgaon and Manesar following a fire at the factory of its component supplier Subros. The fire on Sunday at the Manesar facilities of Subros, which provides airconditioning compressors to Maruti, has led to disruption of supplies.
“As a consequence, Maruti Suzuki India will have to temporarily suspend manufacture of cars at its facilities in Manesar and Gurgaon, starting second half Monday (May 30),” Maruti Suzuki said in a statement.
The company said it, along with Subros, is assessing the extent of damage to essential equipment. “We are also examining the options available to start supply of components from other facilities. Production will resume as soon as components become available,” the company said.
