HAL said second wave of Covid-19 forced the company to declare for a phased lockdown at various divisions on substitution basis during April and May 2021. The employees will put in additional hours for the hours lost during lockdown period. It is, therefore, expected that the lost man hours will be recovered in the coming months, hence, no significant impact is anticipated.
