Suzuki Motor approves plans for a new vehicle manufacturing plant in India through Maruti Suzuki India. The plant in Sanand, Gujarat, will cover seven million square meters with an annual capacity of one million vehicles. The total cost is estimated at Rs49.6bn. The move aligns with India’s “Make in India” initiative and aims to support growth in the automobile market and vehicle exports.

The State of Gujarat offers a well-developed supply chain and infrastructure, making it an advantageous location for production and exports. The new plant in Sanand will benefit from excellent access to highways and railway networks. Suzuki’s investment in India’s automobile market supports the country’s export ambitions and production expansion.

Suzuki has begun rolling out “Ollo Factory,” an AI-based work analysis platform, as part of its Smart Factory program. The software was deployed at the Sagara Plant’s assembly operations in July 2025 and on the engine line in December 2025. The new manufacturing plant in Sanand will further expand Maruti Suzuki’s manufacturing presence in India.
