A Suzuki plant in India has just lost 20,000 bikes’ worth of production due to a recent event the company is calling an “unprecedented business requirement.”
Naturally, any conferences on the annual supply specs have been postponed with the halt in production – a pause that sources say was actually a cyber attack, causing a stall on May 10th.
Despite the considerate inconvenience, AutoCarPro tells us Suzuki Motorcycle India is estimating a reutrn to capacity “not later than early next week.”
“We are aware of the incident and have promptly reported the same to the concerned Government department,” states a representative of Suzuki Motorcycle India.
“The matter is currently under investigation, and for security purposes, we are unable to provide further details at this point in time.”
This year, Suzuki’s global output lodged a stunning 85% of their gains in India’s markets, with half of the company’s machines headed for Bhārat’s thriving two-wheeled industry. 90% of Suzuki’s success in India may be scooters, but there’s no denying that the company’s 14% market share will continue to be driven by the subcontinent of Southern Asia; in the meantime, all the best to Suzuki’s technicians as they work out that “unprecedented business requirement.”
