Top Indian companies and international businesses have started implementing safety procedures for staff members as tensions with Pakistan rise in the wake of recent military clashes. Numerous businesses in northern and western India have issued warnings encouraging workers to work from home, and industrial facilities are putting emergency plans in place to keep running, according to a Moneycontrol.com story.

Businesses that have operations in border states like Punjab, Rajasthan, and portions of Gujarat are promoting in-plant safety and providing personnel with dos and don’ts. According to a source who spoke to Moneycontrol, “the services sector has largely advised remote work in northern regions, but shutting down production units entirely is not an option at this point.”

Additionally, companies are delaying top executives’ domestic and foreign travel, especially to sites in dangerous locations, and providing secure transportation for key workers who must be physically there. Management teams have been instructed to carry out simulated evacuation exercises with key people and to adhere to all government security regulations.

Important sectors that are heavily represented in border states, such as food and beverage and medicines, are especially active in promoting safety measures. According to Moneycontrol, American Express, Panasonic India, and AXA Global Business Services are among the businesses that have released these recommendations.

Companies are waiting and watching, even though operations are steady right now. Another insider warned the magazine that supply chains may be impacted by any more escalation.

The business actions come after India launched Operation Sindoor, which targets nine terror facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retribution for the 26-person Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. Cities close to the border implemented air raid and blackout procedures after Pakistan conducted a series of missile and drone assaults on Indian cities on May 8 that were all intercepted.
