Company overview

Maruti is a subsidiary of the Maruti Suzuki Corporation of Japan. The company operates in India and holds one of the leading positions in the local market.
Maruti Udyog was established in 1981 as a government-sponsored joint venture with the Japanese carmaker. In 2003, the Indian government began to exit the business and, in 2007, sold its shares to Maruti Suzuki.
Initially, the company imported cars and assembled Suzuki models. In 1983, Maruti started its own production based on the Japanese company’s model. However, most parts still came from Japan.
Key stages in the company’s history:
– the company launched its first sedan in India in 1989;
– since 1991, 65% of all parts production has been within the country;
– at the same time, Suzuki increased its stake in the company to 50%;
– three years later, a second Maruti plant began producing 200,000 cars yearly.
In 2006, the partners set up another joint venture to build two plants to produce cars and engines for them. In addition, Maruti introduced a revamped model range designed to meet CO2 emission norms. The company announced the implementation of climate targets in 2019. The first step was to phase out the production of diesel cars.
According to current data, the company has a total production capacity of 1.250 million vehicles annually.
In 2022, construction of the company’s new facility in Kharkhod began. According to the project, the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility will occupy an area of 900 hectares. The completion date of the construction is not yet known.
