Maruti Suzuki India Crosses 20 Million Cars Production Milestone

Maruti Suzuki Production Milestone

The 20 millionth car to be made was the highly-popular new Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback.

Founded in 1983, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) has achieved a new production milestone by making its 2,00,000th car in the country. The 20 millionth car to be made was its highly popular hatchback offering, the new Maruti Suzuki Swift. Painted in bright red shade, the new Swift unit was produced at the carmaker’s Sanand-based facility in Gujarat. Currently, the Indo-Japanese carmaker owns over 50 per cent of market share in the passenger vehicles segment.

It’s the Maruti Suzuki Alto (3.17 million units) that has the major contribution in the achievement, followed by the Maruti Suzuki 800 (2.91 million units) and Maruti Suzuki WagonR (2.13 million units). While the Maruti Suzuki Omni (earlier known as Maruti Van) grabbed the fourth position with 1.94 million units, the Maruti Suzuki Swift stood at fifth spot with 1.94 million units. Models such as new-generation Dzire, Vitara Brezza and Baleno are also generating volumes for the carmaker.

The Indo-Japanese carmaker now aims to sell over 2 million cars annually in coming years. If things go well, Maruti Suzuki might achieve 25 million units production milestone earlier than expected.
