Leading earthmoving and construction equipment manufacturer JCB India announced a 10-day temporary suspension across all its manufacturing facilities in the country, citing the rising number of Covid cases.

He added, “Sufficient inventory levels have been built to support the demand for our products during this period. We do not foresee any challenges in the availability of JCB products for our customers in India or for our export markets. All our customer and dealer facing functions will operate normally, while adhering to local guidelines. There will be no disruption in product support for equipment being used by our customers due to this pause.”
