New Delhi, December 18, 2024.
Automaker Maruti Suzuki has reached a significant production milestone, becoming the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in India to produce two million vehicles in a single calendar year.
This achievement also makes it the first among Suzuki Motor Corporation’s global facilities to accomplish such a feat.
the two-millionth vehicle, an Ertiga, was manufactured at Maruti Suzuki’s advanced facility in Manesar, Haryana. Of the total production, 60 per cent came from the company’s plants in Haryana, while the remaining 40 per cent was produced at the Gujarat facility. The top models produced in 2024 included the Baleno, Fronx, Ertiga, WagonR, and Brezza.
Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India, highlighted the achievement as a reflection of India’s growing manufacturing capabilities and the company’s commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative. “This milestone is a testament to the potential of India’s manufacturing sector and our contribution to making India’s automobile industry more self-reliant and competitive on a global scale,” he said.
