The company said it resumed operations in a graded manner across its factories in Hosur (Tamil Nadu), Mysuru (Karnataka), and Nalagarh (Himachal Pradesh).

"The market is opening up gradually post the lockdown, and we are witnessing a positive uptake in both domestic retail as well as exports," it added.

The company faced supply chain constraints in June. However, it has undertaken various countermeasures, some of which have started yielding results in June itself, the automaker said.

TVS Motor expects to overcome these issues in the month of July, it added.
