Maruti Suzuki has announced that production of its vehicles at its Gurgaon and Manesar plants in Haryana has resumed from the second half of today, since supply of components has come in gradually.

The carmaker had to suspend operations at its facilities from the second half on Saturday, February 20, since supply of certain components was disrupted following the agitation in Haryana. The state was hit by protests from members of the Jat community, demanding they be declared OBC (Other Backward Class).

The combined output from the Gurgaon and Manesar plants is currently about 5,000 vehicles per day. Consequently, the carmaker is likely to have incurred a production loss of at least 10,000 vehicles and will be working towards making good the loss over the near term.

While the Gurgaon plant has an annual production capacity of 7,00,000 cars from three assembly facilities, the Manesar plant can produce 8,00,000 units from similar number of assembly facilities.

The automobile manufactuer, who is currently witnessing upbeat demand for many of its vehicles in the country, has a 46.91 percent market share in passenger vehicle market in India.
