Speaking about the production and sales disruption due to the supply chain crisis, TVS has said that it is working with alternate sources and taking various measures to improve supplies at the earliest. It also claims that some improvement has been seen last month. The auto company in a statement has further said that it is optimistic that volumes will revive to normal levels once the semiconductor supplies improve.
