Maruti made this record this year, which no one has been able to make to date.
In 1983, when India launched the first Maruti 800 in collaboration with Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan, nobody would have imagined that one day Maruti Suzuki India would create such a record that the world's big auto companies coming to India would not be able to create. This record of Maruti Suzuki not only shows the strength of India's automobile industry but also proves what Make in India means.
Yes, Maruti Suzuki India, the largest car seller in the country, has produced 20 lakh vehicles so far in the calendar year i.e. January to December 2024. Suzuki Motor Corporation has many factories all over the world and has subsidiaries in many countries, but Maruti Suzuki India is the only company to make this record.
Ertiga got this award.
The company has said in a statement that the 20 lakhth vehicle produced by Maruti Suzuki India is its popular MPV car Maruti Ertiga. This 7-seater car of Maruti was also the best-selling car in the country in the months of September and October. This unit of Ertiga has been manufactured at Maruti Suzuki's Manesar plant.
Maruti cars are manufactured at these places.
Maruti cars are manufactured in two states in the country. Out of the total 20 lakh vehicles of the company, about 60 percent are produced in Haryana and 40 percent in Hansalpur plant in Gujarat. The company has two plants in Haryana, one in Gurugram and the other in Manesar. A total of 23.5 lakh vehicles can be produced in these plants every year. Suzuki Motor Corporation also exports a large number of cars from here after manufacturing in India.
This achievement of Maruti Suzuki India has been described as a big deal by the company's MD and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi. He says that this record is the result of the hard work of the company's suppliers and dealers, which helps in increasing the country's economy and strengthens the country's development. This shows India's self-reliance in the automobile sector and its competitiveness in the world.
