From June 1, the government has again directed to fully reopen the economy under Unlock-1, but the condition of some companies has deteriorated due to the two-month long lockdown, one such company is Atlas Cycles (Haryana) Limited.

Atlas Cycle has announced the temporary closure of its manufacturing plant in Sahibabad, Uttar Pradesh. The company told the stock markets that it was unable to resume operations at its Sahibabad plant due to the financial crisis, so all employees were barred from working here.
