Maruti may grind to a halt as Manesar woes hit Gurgaon too

11 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Operations at Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, edged closer to a standstill as spreading labour unrest at Maruti’s production units in Manesar choked component supplies to its sole functioning facility in Gurgaon. The company, credited with ushering an auto revolution into India through its winning marriage of Japanese technology and government patronage, finds itself in its toughest spot in more than a decade, with no end in sight to the strikes and a potential loss of sales during the upcoming festival season, when car sales soar. It has lost revenues of Rs 1,215 crore due to the strikes so far. The production will dip further if the strikes continue.

The strikes that began at the Manesar plant of Maruti have now spread to neighbouring factories of Suzuki Powertrain India and Suzuki Motorcycle India. Japanese auto giant Suzuki Motor is the majority owner of both Maruti Suzuki and Suzuki Powertrain, while it wholly owns Suzuki Motorcycle. The striking workers demand that more than 1,000 contract labourers be reinstated at the Manesar plant and disciplinary action against 44 workers be withdrawn. Maruti Suzuki has sharply reduced orders to some of its vendors, in some cases by as much as 50%. It has also asked its dealers to minimize staff and put any promotional activity for the festive season on hold.
