Toyota Motors production cuts will last at least until the end of the year as the carmaker continues to face a shortfall in the supply of parts.
Production is likely to return to normal levels only by November or December this year, the company said.
Toyota and other auto manufacturers have been facing a shortage of parts due to the damage caused by last month’s earthquake and tsunami.
Toyota has curbed production at its factories in Japan and overseas.
The world’s biggest carmaker said that production at its Japanese factories was likely to return to normal levels by July, while its global operations will start to pick up speed by August.
However a complete recovery in its production will happen only by the end of this year, the company said.
