The plant is burnt in sections. You cannot make any cars, he
said.

550,000 vehicle a year plant in
Manesar, in the north Indian state of Haryana.

The company is still trying to identify a dead body found
charred beyond recognition in a
conference room, he said.
The company, which is a subsidiary of Japans Suzuki Motor Corp.,
said in a statement that
at least 40 managers and executives had been hospitalized with
injuries.
The Press Trust of India reported that police were pursuing some
60 workers, including union
leaders, on charges including murder and damaging property.
According to Maruti, the unrest was sparked when a worker beat
up a supervisor Wednesday
morning. The company said the union prevented management from
disciplining the worker,blocked exit gates and held the executives
hostage.
After talks broke down, workers attacked members of the senior
management, executives
and managers, and ransacked the property, the company said.
The Maruti Suzuki Workers Union, in a statement distributed to
Indian media, offered a
different version of events, saying that a supervisor had abused
and made casteist
comments against a low-caste worker.
Instead of taking action against the supervisor, management
suspended the worker, the
union said. The union denied responsibility for the violence,
saying that management had
sent in hundreds of bouncers to attack the workers with sharp
weapons and arms and set
fire to part of the factory.
Maruti Suzuki said production at its Gurgaon plant, which can
produce 900,000 vehicles a
year, was unaffected.
Maruti Suzuki shares plunged over 7 percent in midday trade in
Mumbai.
