CHENNAI:
Industries Minister S Keerthana and Minister for Welfare of Non-Resident Tamils S P K Thennarasu inspected Mobis India Limited's manufacturing facility at Irungattukottai, near Chennai, where a fire broke out on Sunday, as the state government sought to reassure investors about safety and emergency response measures in one of its largest automobile manufacturing clusters.
The ministers held discussions with representatives of Hyundai Motor India and Mobis India. The facility supplies audio components and a few other automotive parts to the automaker and employs more than 500 workers in shifts. The fire had temporarily disrupted production. The visit comes amid efforts by the state government to assess the extent of damage and ensure continuity of operations in the automotive supply chain, a release stated.
Company representatives told the ministers that swift intervention by state agencies helped contain the incident and minimise risks to workers and nearby facilities. They also conveyed their appreciation to Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay for directing an immediate response after reports of the fire emerged.
Later on Wednesday, Hyundai Motor India officials met Chief Minister Joseph Vijay at the secretariat.
