FMCG majors HUL and Nestle India on Tuesday said all of their manufacturing plants have resumed operations but are unable to utilise full capacities due to restrictions on the movement of workers by local authorities in various states and lesser staff deployment at factories.
Both the companies said they are working with local authorities and the state governments to ease the restrictions so that plants can operate in full capacity.
"Most of our factories, many of our distribution centres and majority of our suppliers are operating, but in general, not at their full capacity," a HUL spokesperson told PTI when asked about the status of operations at the company's plants.
Explaining why the plants are not fully functioning, the spokesperson said, "We continue to face local or state restrictions in the movement of our people who are working in the essential goods supply chain".
"We continue to work with local and state government authorities to get our operations towards the required capacity that the people in our country expect from us."
