General Motors India on Thursday said it will accept fresh applications for voluntary retirement scheme from workers of its Halol manufacturing facility, where it has stopped production. GM India President and Managing Director Kaher Kazem said the step has been taken after a number of employees at the unit had individually approached the management seeking reopening of a separation scheme offered earlier.
“As we continue to consolidate GM India manufacturing at our Talegaon plant, we are listening to our employees and supporting them through the transition,” Kazem said in a statement. He further said the company will consider fresh applications for the separation packages, which remains unchanged, but only for only a short period of time.
