Korean automaker Hyundai has resumed manufacturing at its only factory in India located in Sriperumbudur, Chennai. Due to the closure of Coronavirus, all installation operations were halted on March 23, 2020. The company was able to manufacture a total of 200 cars on the first day of production restart at the factory. Hyundai Motor India says it was accomplished with 100% social distance, in addition to complying with all state and central government guidelines. With production starting in shift operations, the automaker plans to manufacture around 12,000 to 13,000 units this month.

Earlier this week, Hyundai also resumed operations in 255 showrooms and workshops across India. In the first 2 days, the company received 4,000 customer inquiries, 500 customer reservations and successfully sold 170 cars. To facilitate the purchasing process, while avoiding the fear of job uncertainty, an EMI subscription program has been put in place for selected new customers covering up to 3 NDEs for auto loans. The program covers clients subject to uncertainties such as loss of employment due to poor financial health, acquisition / merger of the business or due to applicable laws. However, this scheme is not valid on cars like Crete, Elantra, Tucson and Kona.
