Chennai: In order to ensure safety amid rising COVID-19 cases, Eicher Motors Ltd-owned Royal Enfield has decided to shut its three south Indian manufacturing plants for three days.
Reportedly, all the three plants are located in and around Chennai will shut from May 27 to May 29, the internal note to workers said.
“We will resume operation from Monday, 31st May,” the internal note to workers signed by Royal Enfield Chief Operating Officer B Govindarajan read.
The automaker had also shut its plants for three days earlier this month from May 13 to May 15.
Notably, Tamil Nadu is one of the worst-hit states with more than 30,000 cases a day last week. The state, an auto hub known as India’s Detroit, has imposed a lockdown but has allowed some factories, including auto plants, to continue operating.
