      The Indian auto giant Maruti Suzuki, which has been struggling with halted production due to a series of worker’s strikes at its Manesar plant, resumed the production partially on Monday at both of its Manesar and Gurgaon plants. The production was resumed at Manesar plant partially after the workers vacated the plant premises, following a directive of Punjab and Haryana high court.

      The company was able to roll-out 1700 cars from its Gurgaon plant on Monday as compared to the production of 2800 units per day in normal conditions. The production at both Manesar and Gurgaon plant of Maruti Suzuki India has been affected badly due to a shortage of essential components. It is to be mentioned here that workers at Maruti’s key component supplier – Suzuki Power train India Limited – are also on strike in support of Manesar plant workers, since last week.

      In a statement given on Monday, a company spokesman said, "We have started production in a limited way at the Manesar plant."

      The talks between company management and workers remained inconclusive on Monday. The workers are demanding the reinstatement of casual workers. In a statement, Maruti Suzuki Employees Union President Sonu Gujjar said, "We have upped the ante against the Maruti management, which broke the October 1 agreement by not allowing 1,100 casual workers to resume duty."

      The Maruti Suzuki Employees Union, which has not been recognized by the Maruti Suzuki, is spearheading the strike at the Manesar plant.
