Maruti Suzuki Expands Manesar manufacturing with 100,000 units additional capacity

20 April 2024: Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. India’s leading passenger vehicle manufacturer has commissioned another vehicle assembly line at its Manesar facility. This assembly line has been added to the existing Plant-A of the 3 manufacturing plants at Manesar. The new vehicle assembly line has the capability to manufacture 100,000 units per annum. With this additional assembly line, the total manufacturing capability at Manesar stands at 900,000 vehicles per annum.

The first Ertiga rolled out at the new vehicle assembly line at Manesar plant. This new line enhances existing capability at plant by an additional 100,000 units per annum.

Cumulatively, the Manesar facility has contributed over 95 lakh units in Maruti Suzuki’s 3 Crore production milestone. Several best-selling vehicles like Brezza, Ertiga, XL6, Wagon R, Dzire, S-Presso, Ciaz and Celerio are manufactured at this facility.

Speaking at the commissioning of the new assembly line, Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. said, “Maruti Suzuki is deeply committed to the Government of India’s vision of `Make in India’. We aim to nearly double our capacity to 4 million vehicles per annum over the next 7-8 years and this capacity addition of 100,000 vehicles per year is a step towards this goal. It will help us serve our customers faster and enhance our overall capability to manufacture up to 23.5 lakh units per annum.”

He added, “This new assembly line adopts technologies that enhance human ergonomics, improve productivity and enhance traceability.”

Maruti Suzuki Manesar facility was inaugurated in February 2007 with the start of Plant A. As customer demand increased, the company added Plant-B in 2011 and Plant-C in 2013.
From the day the iconic Maruti 800 was launched in 1983, the company has been spearheading a revolution of change. Turning an entire country’s need for driving, into its love for driving.

However, tastes and demands keep on evolving with each new generation of Indians. This has not been looked at by Maruti Suzuki as a challenge, but as an inspiration to go beyond traditional boundaries of car-making. Infusing design and technology is one such step it has taken to make its cars meet new age expectations smoothly.
