In the statement, the Tata Motors spokesperson says, "Tata Motors is running operations at its Pune plant in strict compliance with the guidelines mentioned in the 'Break the Chain' order of the Maharashtra government. A limited number of employees are attending duties adhering to all safety protocols, distancing norms and hygiene standards. We continue to remain vigilant about the safety and well-being of our employees. In addition to mandated testing, screening at plant gates is robust and if a symptomatic case is identified, we ensure that the employee is isolated and provided with all support for quarantine and contact tracing thereafter.

Tata Motors also produces its commercial trucks and buses at the Pune facility
According to media reports, earlier this month a letter dated April 14, 2021, which was circulated online, stated that Tata Motors has decided to halt vehicle manufacturing operations at the Pune plant from April 15 to April 30. The letter was addressed to the MIDC police station in Bhosari, Pune. However, the statement released by the company now refutes this report.
The company's Pune plant currently manufactures the Tata Altroz, the Harrier and the new Safari SUV along with commercial vehicles, which include both trucks and buses. Tata Motors' passenger vehicle segment currently includes models like the Tiago, Tigor, Altroz, Nexon, Harrier and the Safari.
