Strikes and Lockouts in Indian Automobile Companies

This thread was necessary I thought to make our fellow members and
surfers aware of strikes and lockouts going on currently, in one or
many India based automobile manufacturing or assembling plants. The
information can be updated from time to time as and when a strike or a
lockout reported here ceases and /or a new one comes into effect.
Strikes are not so common these days as used to happen about two decades or so back due to some obvious reasons.
To begin with there's a strike on at the Mahindra and Mahindra plant in
Nashik since about two weeks.So no Xylos and Scorpios are rolling out
from there. Our sympathies with those who have booked these and are
waiting endlessly to own one.
There's another strike at the Hyundai
Motors India Ltd plant near Chennai. The management had openly warned
the strikers, that a part of the i 20 production will be shifted to
Europe to keep up with the demands and export committments. The i20
waiting list is quite long and again our sympathies here with
prospective buyers.

hi anajn... i have booked my scorpio vlx but i am not getting the delivery of the car because of the strike in mahindra's plant. I am waiting eagerly for the car . when we booked the car the dealer said that he will give the delivery in 2-3 weeks. but now i have to wait for 45 days. :frustration:

Lets hope the strike is called off and you get your SUV soon.Some deliveries of the pre-strike manufactured Mahindra range were made till some 10 days back. Read no news about the strike position. But only hope it ends.

These labor strikes are a nuisanc, expecially in auto industry. Have heard of Honda 2 wheelers' strike before and now Mahindra and Hyundai. Hyundai is the major sufferer, many strikes(some even for a day or two) have taken place there.

Yesterday 19th May, the M& M strike was called off by the workers
union at the Nashik plant.It was due to the Chief Security Officer
having a tete-a-tete with an union leader.
Now expect the Xylos,
Logans, Scorpios and Boleros ( all made at the Nashik plant) to roll
out and land into the showrooms and then with the keys handed over,
onto the roads.

oh thats a good news from M&M, expect faster deliveries of booked vehicles now.Vaibhav may be your waiting would get over soon.

That's a good news. Now vaibhav can get his Scorpio soon.
