At the onset, SMIPL will resume operation with limited workforce and will gradually shift to full production cycle as per the Government's directive. We have implemented detailed operating guidelines with emphasis on social distancing to ensure maximum precautions are taken by all our employees. In order to overcome the challenges faced due to the ongoing situation, we also believe that it is necessary that we all stay together in high spirits by continuing to motivate each other," commented Koichiro Hirao, managing director, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd.
