The country’s largest two-wheeler maker Sunday said it has decided to extend the shutdown at its manufacturing facilities across India, its Global Parts Center (GPC) in Neemrana and its R&D facility – the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur – by another week, till May 16, 2021 given the increase in Covid-19 cases in the country.
Hero MotoCorp said the decision has been taken in line with its commitment to the safety and welfare of its people and to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19.
“The company is continuously monitoring the situation and is ready with its business continuity plans to be able to quickly resume and scale up operations as and when the situation improves”, the company said in a statement.
Hero MotoCorp had proactively halted the plant operations temporarily in a staggered manner for four days from April 22-May 1, which was then extended till May 9.
All corporate offices of the company have already been in Work from Home (WFH) mode.
