Maruti Suzuki’s stockyard in Gujarat showcases the impressive scale of India’s manufacturing capabilities. The plant produces 7.5 lakh cars annually, with the stockyard displaying just 2–3% of the total production at any given time.
This number highlights Gujarat and India’s growing strength in automobile manufacturing, reinforcing the “Make in India, Make for the World” vision at scale.
In a related development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated and flagged off the “e VITARA,” Suzuki’s first global strategic Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), at a programme in Hansalpur, Gujarat.
The Made-in-India BEVs will be exported to more than 100 countries, including advanced markets like Europe and Japan, establishing India as Suzuki’s global manufacturing hub for electric vehicles.
Taking significant strides toward becoming Aatmanirbhar in green energy, the Prime Minister also inaugurated the next phase of India’s battery ecosystem by marking the commencement of local production of hybrid battery electrodes at the TDS Lithium-Ion Battery plant in Gujarat.
The plant, a joint venture of Toshiba, Denso, and Suzuki, aims to boost domestic manufacturing and clean energy innovation. This development ensures that over eighty percent of the battery value will now be produced within India.
