Maruti Suzuki began operations in 1983 with its first production facility in Gurugram, Haryana.
Over the years, the company expanded its manufacturing footprint, including facilities in Gurugram, Manesar, and Kharkhoda in Haryana, and recently amalgamated the Gujarat plant into its operations.
Today, Maruti Suzuki manufactures 17 models and over 650 variants across these state-of-the-art facilities. Looking ahead, the Company plans to enhance its manufacturing capacity to 4 million units per annum to meet rising domestic demand and serve international markets.
Maruti Suzuki India has produced over 22.55 lakh units in 2025, its highest-ever production in a calendar year, according to a statement from the carmaker.
This is the second consecutive year that the automobile company has exceeded 20 lakh units in annual production. The production includes vehicles for domestic sales, exports and (original equipment manufacturer) OEM supplies.
The top five models by production volume during the year were Fronx, Baleno, Swift, Dzire and Ertiga, the company earlier said.
According to the carmaker, this milestone reflects the company’s strong focus on delivering products in line with customer demand across domestic and international markets. (ANI)
