The Suzuki powertrain is owned by the Japanese auto brand with 70% stakes that supplies 300,000 engines to MSI. 40% of the engines produced goes to the Suzuki Motors. The strike at the Suzuki powertrain has been triggered after the management of MSI did not come in terms with the employees for a prolonged period. The employee stand-off had begun on August 29th, when the MSI had asked the workers to sign the good conduct bond before entering into the company premises.
