Sony India Not Ready To Resume Production Until COVID-19 Ends

To deal with the ongoing pandemic, plenty of companies in different industries have planned to resume production with the aid of healthcare measures. However, Sony India still seems very careful about the current situation while saying that it will only re-open its factories once the situation is normal, in accordance with government guidelines.

Sony used to manufacture its products in Tamil Nadu, but the Japanese electronics giant started to halt all the production plans since the COVID-19 outbreak spread in India.

According to Sunil Nayyar, a senior director at Sony India, the company now takes into consideration other solutions. For instance, customers in green and orange zones now are able to order products, and those deliveries are said to be enough to fulfill people’s needs during the lockdown time.

The COVID-19 virus forces people to stay home and enjoy their free time with such products from Sony, instead of going to movie theaters as usual. Sony India’s lineup includes Bravia TVs, home audio, personal audio, and digital imaging devices, accounting for 25% total revenue.

Sony India has promised to tie in with the “Make in India” program initiated by the Indian government.

As part of that, local manufacturing plants will be increased in both size and quantity. The company is also focusing on various businesses to expand its market share.
