Coronavirus impact: Bridgestone India resumes operations

Bridgestone India has resumed operations across its manufacturing facilities in Indore and Pune. The company restarts operations in a phased manner across its manufacturing plants after getting permits issued by government bodies. The priority of the company remains to be the safety of employees while conducting business operations in the post-lockdown world.

The company had shut down its operations even before the nationwide lockdown was initiated so as to protect its employees, business partners and community. The company will follow guidelines and preventive measures recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the government to curb the spread of COVID-19. The company has rolled out standard operating procedures and checklists that ensure the safety of all the employees. The company will closely monitor the evolving Coronavirus crisis and the market behaviour before it starts working at full capacity.
