Maruti Suzuki now has four manufacturing facilities in India
Maruti Suzuki, India's largest passenger car manufacturer has initiated the first phase of its new plant in Kharkhoda, Haryana. The new facility has an initial manufacturing capacity of 250,000 units. Located in the Sonipat district of Haryana, it is the fourth manufacturing plant of the brand in the country, including the Suzuki Motor Gujarat plant, which the brand recently acquired. It is to be noted that the manufacturing facility will significantly boost the production capacity of the brand, which was at 2.35 million before this facility.

The Kharkhoda plant is the brand's largest manufacturing site in the country. It will be a key contributor to the brand's strategy of significantly expanding its production capacity to four million units annually by 2030. This will require an investment of around Rs 45,000 crore as the brand aims to regain 50 per cent market share. Recently, the brand announced that they have been facing market share erosion with the current share standing at 41 percent.
