Maruti Suzuki India Limited has commenced commercial production at its Kharkhoda facility in Haryana, with an initial annual capacity of 250,000 units dedicated to manufacturing the compact SUV Brezza. This addition increases the company’s total annual production capacity, including its subsidiary Suzuki Motor Gujarat Private Limited, to 2.6 million units.
The Kharkhoda plant, established with an initial investment of over ₹11,000 crore, is set to expand its capacity in phases. Plans include the development of four manufacturing plants on the site, each with a capacity of 250,000 vehicles per annum, aiming for a total annual output of 1 million units. This expansion is projected to be completed over the next eight years, contingent on market conditions.
In addition to vehicle production, the facility will incorporate advanced technologies such as Industry 4.0, digitalization, and artificial intelligence to enhance manufacturing efficiency and quality. Sustainability measures include the installation of a 100-megawatt solar power plant, with 30 megawatts expected to be operational at the start of production.
The foundation stone for the Kharkhoda facility was laid in August 2022. This plant marks Maruti Suzuki’s third manufacturing unit in Haryana, complementing existing facilities in Gurugram and Manesar.
