Strict safety and hygiene protocols are in place at all plant locations and offices in preparation for the gradual resumption of operations.
The company continues to monitor the situation closely and the remaining manufacturing plants and other facilities will also open up gradually. All corporate offices of the company have already been in Work from Home (WFH) mode.

The announcement was made after market hours on 14 May 2021. Shares of Hero MotoCorp fell 1.09% to settle at Rs 2,811 on 14 May 2021.
