Maruti Suzuki Registers 1,600 Units Of Vehicle Deliveries Since Restart Of Dealership Operations

The state and central government post the 4th of May 2020, also allowed vehicle dealerships and other businesses in the green zones across India to resume operations. Now, according to reports from ET Auto, Maruti Suzuki has delivered 1,600 units since the restart.

Most of these deliveries are from the bookings made before the lockdown. The cars delivered by Maruti Suzuki were mainly from the stocks left in their inventory, manufactured prior to the start of lockdown.

The country entered a nationwide lockdown on the 24th of March, 2020. The lockdown was initially supposed to end on the 14th of April, however, was extended twice and is now scheduled to end on the 17th of May.

The central and state government, however, have allowed industries situated in the green zones to resume partial operations from the 4th of May 2020. This decision to slowly restart operations is to help build up the Indian economy, which has taken a massive hit due to the 40-day shutdown.

Apart from Maruti Suzuki, almost all major vehicle manufacturers, both four and two-wheelers are slowly resuming operations. This includes both production processes and sales & service operations at dealerships.

Businesses are ensuring that they are adhering to all the guidelines set by the government. This includes all safety, social distancing and personal hygiene protocols. Companies are also setting up their own safety measures as well, to ensure the safety of both their employees and customers alike.

Other safety measures also include companies bringing only essential staff members back to work. The remaining employees will continue to work from home until further notice.
