Tata Motors Sanand Plant: The impact of continuous torrential rains and floods in Gujarat is now clearly visible on the country’s automobile industry. It is seen that the country’s leading automobile manufacturer Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited has currently stopped the production of cars at its Sanand plant in Gujarat. The company has informed that due to heavy rains, not only the plant has been affected but many supplier units around it have also been affected by floods. In such a situation, it is not possible to continue production at present. Sanand plant is counted among the most important manufacturing centers of Tata Motors. The company’s popular cars Tiago, Tigor, Nexon and the upcoming Sierra are manufactured here.
Repair work continues, hope to be back to normal soon
Tata Motors informed the stock market that repair work is going on at a rapid pace in the plants and supplier factories affected by the flood. Regarding which the company hopes that as soon as the situation becomes normal, production will be restarted in the next few days. But till now the company has not shared the figures of possible economic loss due to floods. Regarding this, the company has also clarified that it has insurance against losses caused by floods and other natural disasters, which can compensate some of the financial loss.
Will car deliveries to customers be affected?
It is seen that the Sanand plant produces a large number of vehicles every month which are sent to the dealership network across the country. In such a situation, if production remains closed for a long time, the supply and delivery of some popular models may be affected. But for now, due to the stock available with the company’s dealers, the possibility of any immediate major impact on customers is said to be low. But still, if production is disrupted for several days due to rain and floods, then the waiting list of cars like Nexon, Tiago and Tigor may increase.
