Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.
December 1983 heralded a revolution in the Indian car industry. Maruti
collaborated with Suzuki of Japan to produce the first affordable car
for the average Indian. At this time, the Indian car market had
stagnated at a volume of 30,000 to 40,000 cars for the decade ending
1983. This was from where Maruti took over.The sales figure for the year 1993 reached up to 1,96,820. The company reached a total production of one million vehicles in March 1994 becoming the first Indian Company to cross this milestone. It crossed the two million mark in 1997. India's largest automobile company, Maruti entered the Indian car market with the avowed aim to provide high quality, fuel - efficient, low - cost vehicles. Its cars operate on Japanese technology, adapted to Indian conditions and Indian car users. Maruti comes in a variety of models in the 800 segment. To fend off growing competition, Maruti has recently completed a Rs. 4 billion expansion project at the current site, which has increased the total production capacity to over 3,20,000 vehicles per annum. It has further plans to modernize the existing facilities and to expand its capacity by 1,00,000 units in the year 1998-99. The total production of the company will exceed 4,00,000 vehicles per year. In the small car segment it produces the Maruti 800 and the Zen. The big car segment includes the Maruti Esteem and the Maruti 1000. It also manufactures the Maruti Omni. The latest addition to the Maruti stable is the Classic, billed as the car that will lead the way to the next millennium. Other models on their way include the Wagon R and the Baleno. Company
