Hero MotoCorp announced on Saturday that it is preparing to gradually resume operations by starting production at all its manufacturing plants in the country from May 24. Three of its plants, located in Gurugram and Dharuhera in Haryana and Haridwar in Uttarakhand, had already begun single shift production on May 17. The remaining plants, located in Neemrana in Rajasthan, Halol in Gujarat and Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh, will also start single shift operations on May 24.
The Global Parts Centre (GPC) at Neemrana will also be operational from next week, and the world’s largest motorcycle and scooter manufacturer will have an increased focus on catering to global business markets. The company is monitoring the situation carefully and will eventually move to double-shift production.
Hero MotoCorp has initiated an effort to get its employees between the ages of 18 and 45 vaccinated, and more than 90% of those over 45 have already been vaccinated. Strict safety and hygiene protocols have been implemented at all plant locations and offices in preparation for the gradual resumption of operations. (ANI)
