BMW Group India on Thursday said it started operations at its Chennai factory in accordance with guidelines issued by local authorities.
Local production at the plant will be started with less than 50 per cent of the regular workforce. All other employees will continue to work from home. The plant will resume its operations in a single shift.
Depending on the pandemic situation and government advisories, deployment of staff will be adjusted steadily, according to a statement.
The Chennai plant has implemented several precautionary measures to create a safe working environment, including remodelling of plant layout to ensure strict social distancing, individual protective gear for all employees, daily health check-ups, staggered lunch schedules, pre-packed meals and the highest level of sanitisation measures.
The National Sales Company and BMW India Financial Services based out of BMW Group India headquarters in Gurugram will continue to work from home.
BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad dealerships across the country will restart operations in adherence to local government directives and advisories while maintaining necessary safety and hygiene measures, it said.
