Hyundai Motors resumes production at India plant

Production at Hyundai Motor's India plant has resumed, even as a section of workers continued with their strike for the third day, a spokesman for the local unit said on Wednesday.

"We have evicted the striking workers from the factory premises and normal production has resumed with those who have come back to work," the spokesman told Reuters. "The striking workers are in minority."

Some workers at Hyundai's plant in the southern city of Chennai had halted work on Monday demanding full re-instatement of dismissed employees in violation of orders while conciliation on the issue was under way, the company had said. The spokesman said negotiations with the striking workers were on.

Hyundai Motor, South Korea's top auto maker, is the No. 2 brand in the fast-growing Indian market, competing with Maruti Suzuki. Its Indian plant produces cars for both local and overseas markets and employs around 10,000 workers
