Akurdi plant closure peaceful: Bajaj

Rajiv Bajaj, managing director, Bajaj Auto, today said production at the Akurdi plant came to a halt peacefully and as planned last week.

"Not one untoward incident occurred - a perfect testimony to worker maturity and management fairness," Bajaj said in a release issued today.

The release added: "The management is satisfied with this win-win situation owing to which workers will continue to receive their wages as if the plant was working while the company will benefit from the direct and indirect gains of the shutdown. Details of such benefits will shortly be furnished to the concerned authorities once competition-sensitive information has been suitably addressed."
