A day before Maruti Suzuki India (Maruti Suzuki) announced the closure of its factories in Haryana from May 1 to 9. This is so that medical oxygen can be supplied to serious patients of Corona. During this time there will be no production in the company's factories. Maruti Suzuki said in a statement that its factories use very little oxygen to make cars, while the gas is widely used to make parts. The company believes that whatever oxygen is available in the current situation should be used to save people's lives. In view of this, the company has decided to shut down the factories for maintenance before the scheduled time. The factories were to be closed in June for the first maintenance. Suzuki Motor Gujarat has also decided to close its factory during this period.
