Maruti Suzuki India shares slipped on the bourses in the morning trade today, hit by news reports that the car maker has sacked 11 employees at its Manesar facility, which has been crippled by a strike since Saturday.
The scrip fell by 2.1 per cent to touch a low of Rs 1,206 on the BSE, while on the NSE it went down by 1.7 per cent to hit an early low of Rs 1,210.95.
On Monday, the company sacked 11 employees at the Manesar facility, which has been crippled by a strike since Saturday, resulting in a production loss of about 1,800 units so far.
“The stock is trading under pressure because of the ongoing strike. If no patch-up is reached between the management and the workers, there can be more damage to the stock,” the Ashika Stock Brokers Research Head, Mr Paras Bothra, said.
