Bengaluru, Jul 16 (UNI) Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), on Thursday announced that it will start production at its Bidadi Plant in Karnataka from Monday as the revised directives issued by the Karnataka Government allowed residents in Bengaluru urban and rural districts to move and commute for industries located inside industrial estates.

TKM had suspended its operations from the second shift on Tuesday following the announcement of lockdown on July 14.



TKM will continue to swiftly navigate the crisis by taking all possible preventive and remedial measures by closely working with various stakeholders including the relevant statutory authorities, according to a press release by TKM here on Thursday.

Ever since unlocking, TKM has been prudent about the number of employees working at the plant in Bidadi. At any given point, only 40 to 45 per cent of the production workforce has been attending work so as to maintain all norms of social distancing. On a daily basis, all employees have to self-declare their health condition, as a reassurance to their safe health. This has been possible due to the resilient internal communication that TKM has been maintaining with all its employees.

The office staff at TKM’s corporate and regional offices, continue to ‘work from home’ to help mitigate risks. In addition to the safety protocols that are being followed, TKM has initiated the task of providing safety kits.
