The strike by workers at the country's largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India's (MSI) Manesar plant entered its fourth day today and production continued to be completely affected.

"The situation is the same as yesterday," a company spokesperson said.

The company had yesterday sacked sacked 11 employees at the plant for allegedly inciting others to strike work.

Around 2,000 workers at the plant had gone on strike since Saturday, resulting in a production loss of about 1,800 units till yesterday and the value of the loss is estimated to be around Rs 100 crore.

The Manesar plant rolls out about 1,200 units every day in two shifts. The factory produces hatchbacks Swift and A-Star and sedans DZiRE and SX4.

The company's scrip was being quoted at Rs 1,223.20 per share at noon on the BSE, down 0.71%.
