The country's largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, has crossed a production of 20 million vehicles at its Gurugram and Manesar facilities (both in Haryana).
According to a company statement, of the 20 million units, 14.37 million vehicles are manufactured in Gurugram, while 5.62 million vehicles are in Manesar facility. This has been achieved in 34 years and six months since the company had started production in December 1983.
"The 20 million production milestone is a testimony of trust in brand Maruti Suzuki. For over three decades, Maruti Suzuki has worked to listen and meet the evolving customer aspirations with contemporary products of global quality," Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director, MSIL, said.
Maruti Suzuki had achieved one million production in March 1994, nearly after a decade after the start of manufacturing cars. The five million milestone was achieved in April 2005, while 10 million was hit in March 2011.
At present, Maruti Suzuki makes 16 models for the domestic market. Vehicles made in India are also exported to more than 100 countries in Europe, Japan, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
