"Fingers ‘turned to powder’: the maimed workers of India’s auto hub", 4 August 2023
...[A]pproximately 80,000 workers are employed in different automobile units of Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki, Yamaha, and other global companies.
[...]
“Crushed”, a report published by Safe in India Foundation (SII) revealed that, on average, 20 workers lose their hands and/or fingers daily while working in automobile factories spread in the Manesar and Gurgaon areas. Around 65 percent of injured workers are under the age of 30.
[...]
These factories employ raw or unskilled workers, pay below minimum wages and make them work longer hours. They are completely unregulated and as a result rarely report any accidents... Another important factor is that most of the workers are migrant workers who don’t have a support network and are more vulnerable to exploitation.
[...]
The suffering increases as they don’t get any compensation.

A Maruti Suzuki spokesperson told Al Jazeera that it takes all the necessary steps to safeguard its workers...“At Maruti Suzuki safety is no compromise, even the minute safety incident or a near miss case is taken up with utmost seriousness”.
