Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, is set to invest Rs 10,189 crore (approximately $1.2 billion) in a new manufacturing facility in Gujarat. The investment, announced recently, underscores the company’s commitment to expanding its production capabilities in the face of growing demand.
The new facility will be Maruti Suzuki’s fifth manufacturing plant in Gujarat. The initial phase includes an assembly line with an annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles.
