Auto segment seller Nippon Paint India said that at 25 percent limit, it won't meet plant overhead costs, take off alone organization overheads. Sharad Malhotra, the organization's leader of car revamps and wood coatings, stated, “For us to run a viable unit, we need to produce around 60 per cent, and even then, the margins are small.

However, once we are allowed to open, we will use it to complete some of our urgent export orders.
