New Delhi, November 2: Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on Wednesday said it has crossed the cumulative mark of 2.5 crore. MSI started production in December 1983 and crossed the 10 lakh production mark in March 1994. It crossed the 1 crore mark in March 2011 and the 2 crore mark in July 2018.
Its first manufacturing facility came up in Gurugram, Haryana.
The company now has two manufacturing facilities at Gurugram and Manesar in Haryana with an installed production capacity of 15 lakh units per annum.
The company sells 16 passenger cars on the domestic market, and also exports to about 100 countries. Maruti Suzuki India is expanding the CNG fuel option for vehicles sold in the Nexa dealership network.
“2022 marks the 40th anniversary of Suzuki’s partnership with the people of India. Exceeding the cumulative production volume of 25 million this year is a testament to Suzuki’s continued commitment and partnership with the people of India,” MSI Chairman and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said in a statement. Honda Cars India reports wholesale sales growth of 18% in October 2022.
In the future, the automaker will continue to introduce new products to the market, he added. “Anticipating the growing demand for passenger cars, we have also started work on setting up a new manufacturing facility at Kharhoda, Haryana,” said Takeuti.
