Meanwhile, the entire auto industry has come to a standstill due to the ongoing lockdown that was imposed on March 23. Hence, the auto industry is seeking relief from the government and has sent a letter to the Prime Minister listing out all the measures that should be undertaken once the lockdown is lifted.
