The fund-raising plan is to improve liquidity which has taken a hit among all automakers due to the economic slowdown and Covid-19 lockdown.
Liquidity deficit has become a big problem for automakers, their dealers and suppliers during the countrywide lockdown as they have fixed costs like employee wages, debt obligations and depreciating assets like manufacturing equipment.
But revenues have frozen as buyers defer purchases. At the same time, auto supply chains are spread globally and re-building them will take weeks and months.
