The company said it will halt manufacturing operations at the two manufacturing facilities on 7 and 9 September.

"Both days will be observed as no production days," MSI said in a statement.
Reeling under severe slowdown, the auto major had reduced its production by 33.99 percent in August, making it the seventh straight month of reduction.
The company produced a total of 1,11,370 units in August as against 1,68,725 units a year ago.
In July, the automaker had cut its production by 25.15 percent to 1,33,625 units.
