Maruti Suzuki India Limited has commenced commercial production at the fourth manufacturing unit (Plant D) at its Hansalpur facility in Gujarat, taking the plant’s total annual production capacity to 1 million vehicles.
The addition of Plant D, which has an annual production capacity of 250,000 units, increases the Hansalpur facility’s overall capacity from 750,000 units to 1 million units per year. This achievement marks the first time in Suzuki’s global history that a single manufacturing facility has reached an annual production capacity of 1 million vehicles. It also establishes the Hansalpur complex as India’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturing facility at a single location.
With the commissioning of Plant D, Maruti Suzuki’s total manufacturing capacity across its facilities has risen to 2.9 million units annually, strengthening the company’s production capabilities to meet growing domestic and international demand.
Maruti Suzuki has made a cumulative investment of INR 25,288.7 crore (INR 252,887 million) in the Hansalpur facility, including an estimated INR 3,900 crore (INR 39,000 million) invested in the newly operational Plant D.
The new production line will initially manufacture Maruti Suzuki’s flagship battery electric vehicle (BEV), the e VITARA, underscoring the company’s commitment to expanding its electric mobility portfolio in India.
The state‑of‑the‑art Hansalpur facility produces FRONX, Baleno, Swift and e VITARA. The facility has emerged as a major export hub for the Company, accounting for nearly 47% of its overall overseas shipments in
FY 2025-26.
Speaking on the expansion, Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “Gujarat has emerged as a manufacturing and export hub for Maruti Suzuki, backed by strong infrastructure and a progressive industrial ecosystem. The start of commercial production at the fourth plant of our Hansalpur facility augments its annual production capacity to one million vehicles, making it India’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturing facility at a single location. The new line will further strengthen our ability to meet the growing demand from customers in India and overseas while advancing our ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ vision and expanding our global footprint.”
He added, “Together, the Hansalpur and the upcoming Sanand facility in Gujarat will play a pivotal role in achieving our long-term ambition of producing 4 million units annually in India. These projects reflect our commitment to strengthening India’s manufacturing competitiveness, creating employment, boosting exports, and contributing towards Viksit Bharat.”
