Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) on Thursday announced a temporary 15-day halt of its production operations across all its four plants from May 1 in view of the surge in COVID-19 cases and multiple lockdowns across various cities.

A press statement from the company said that HMSI would utilise the production halt for advancing its annual plant maintenance activities. Depending upon the evolving COVID-19 situation and market recovery, HMSI shall be reviewing its production plan in the subsequent months.

HMSI has its manufacturing plants at Manesar in Haryana; Tapukara in Rajasthan; Narsapura in Karnataka and Vithalapur in Gujarat.

All HMSI office associates will continue to work from home to maintain business continuity while extending all possible support to customers and business partners. Only essential staff will be working at all the plants and various offices across the country, said the press statement.
