Top Indian Carmaker Maruti Suzuki(MRTI.NS), a manager killed and 90 employees in jail after workers rioted at its second-largest factory, faces a lengthy shutdown that could cost it $15 million a day and disrupt supplies of its most popular hatchback, the Swift.
Police said they want to detain the entire workforce of 3,000 at the Manesar factory in Haryana, where workers rampaged on Wednesday after a disciplinary incident with a single employee. Scores were injured and a portion of the factory's vehicle assembly line was burned out.
The violence, just nine months after the end of strikes at the facility that cost more than $500 million in lost production, spooked investors worried that Maruti has failed to resolve labour tensions at the 550,000 vehicle per year plant.
