Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced that its Manesar facility has crossed the 1 crore cumulative production milestone. This achievement makes the Manesar facility the fastest among Suzuki’s global automobile manufacturing plants to reach this mark, achieving it in just 18 years.

Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, stated, “As we reach this important landmark, I thank our customers for placing their trust in us. I also thank all our employees, business associates, and Government of India for their continued support.”

The Manesar facility, which is spread over 600 acres, started its operations in October 2006. It manufactures a range of models including Brezza, Ertiga, XL6, Ciaz, Dzire, Wagon R, S-Presso, and Celerio.
