Production cuts at car manufacturer Toyota will last at least until the end of the year due to a shortfall in the supply of parts, the company says.
Toyota Motors has curbed production at its factories in Japan and overseas, the BBC reports.
The company and other vehicle makers have been facing a shortage of parts due to the damage caused by last month's earthquake and tsunami.
The world's biggest carmaker said that production at its Japanese factories was likely to begin the recovery process by July, while its global operations will start to pick up speed by August.
However a complete recovery in its production at its Japanese and global plants would only occur by the end of the year.
