The strike at Mahindra & Mahindra’s (M&M) Igatpuri plant has been called off, after the automaker revoked the suspension of two workers.
“The management has also received a personal assurance from the Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray that such instances will not be repeated in future,” M&M said in statement.
The production at the plant would “soon be restored to normalcy”, it said. The strike had begun on April 9 following the suspension of two of its workers on disciplinary grounds.
The President of Bhartiya Kamgar Sena – which is affiliated to Shiv Sena - Suryakant Mahadik has also given an assurance that workers would not indulge in any breach of discipline in the future.
The plant, located about 130 km from Mumbai, produces 1,100 engines per day in three shifts for a range of M&M vehicles such as XUV 500, Bolero, Xylo, Genio and Maxximo.
M&M also said that there was “no material impact” on sales volume, due to sufficient stock and increase in production at other locations.
