10 Oct 2011
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd today resumed production at its Rudrapur plant, in Uttarakhand, after the authorities relaxed a three-day-long curfew imposed in the area that had forced employees to stay home.
With the lifting of day curfew in the town of Rudrapur, the company said, workers are now able to report to duties.
However, the company said that due to adequate availability of stocks, this production loss would not have any material impact in the short term on sales volume.
Besides Rudrapur, Mahindra and Mahindra has manufacturing centres at Jaipur, Nagpur,Zaheerabad and two units at Nashik and Mumbai each.

Another division, Farm Equipment manufactures agricultural tractors and implements used in conjunction with tractors.
