Amara Raja Batteries Limited (ARBL) has resumed operations at its plants at Nunegundlapalli and Karkambadi at Chittoor District with effect from 8th May, 2021 after Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh granted an interim suspension of the orders passed by Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB), the company said in a press release.
Continuing with its focus on the best-in-class systems and processes for environmental, safety and health practices, the company said it will continue to engage closely with APPCB to resolve any potential issues.
ARBL said it is confident of meeting all its supply commitments and assures all its stakeholders that the temporary disruption caused during the last few days will not have any material impact on its operations or order book.
“We have taken proactive measures to ensure that all our obligations to supply products and services to our customers are met in a timely manner without causing any inconvenience, whatsoever. We are assessing the impact of the short term disruption, and gearing up to sufficiently cater to the demands of all our customers and business partners,” a company spokesperson said
The company said it is committed for excellence in complying with all the regulatory requirements. “As a responsible corporate citizen, ARBL has always placed highest priority on the environment and to the health and safety of its workforce,” it said.
