Why this matters
This milestone expands Suzuki's manufacturing capacity in India, where it now runs four plants, and brings local production of the e VITARA electric vehicle. The company's total Indian capacity rises to 2.9 million units a year, with a new Sanand plant planned to start by 2029. It shows how Suzuki is scaling up in India toward a 4-million-unit target in the 2030s.
