Hero MotoCorp has halted manufacturing at all its plants due to the ongoing surge in spread of Covid-19 across the country.
The two-wheeler major issued a statement saying, "Keeping with its commitment to the safety and welfare of its people, Hero MotoCorp has decided to proactively halt operations temporarily at all of its manufacturing facilities across the country."
The shutdown, which is temporary and includes the global parts centre (GPC), is a first by a two-wheeler maker in this financial year.
