India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) said its production will be impacted due to a semiconductor shortage that has severely hit the global automotive industry.
The company said Suzuki Motor Gujarat (SMG), which contracts manufacturers for Maruti, will shut production for three consecutive Saturdays in August. It may also bring down working to just one shift, due to the shortage.
“Owing to the shortage situation, MSIL has been informed by its contract manufacturing company, SMG, that production will be partially impacted this month. SMG will tentatively not carry out production on three Saturdays (August 7, 14 and 21),” Maruti Suzuki said
