And, so production also has come to standstill... Hero MotoCorp, one of the leading two-wheeler manufacturers, has announced a nationwide shutdown of its plants for four days between April 22 and May 1. The maker of the popular Splendor bike said that despite its 4-day shutdown and production halt, it will not have an impact on its ability to meet demand, according to the company’s exchange filing. General Motors, the US-based car maker, fired all its 1,419 employees in its Talegaon plant in Pune. The company’s director of communications, George Svigos, told Economic Times that no vehicles were manufactured in the last four months.
