Investment letter handover ceremony held between Gujarat, Maruti Suzuki India for new plant

Maruti Suzuki signs deal for a massive new plant in Gujarat, investing ₹35,000 crores to boost production and create thousands of jobs.

"Gujarat has taken another solid step towards realising the goal of Make in India Made for the World."

Gandhinagar, January 17

Maruti Suzuki India Limited will develop a new plant in Khoraj, investing Rs 35,000 crores to produce a total of 10 lakh cars per year. About 12000 people will get potential employment opportunities.

In the presence of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Maruti Suzuki MD Shriyut Hitachi Takeuchi, an investment letter handover ceremony was held between the state government and Maruti Suzuki India Limited in Gandhinagar.

Gujarat has taken another solid step towards realising the goal of Make in India Made for the World.

The Maruti Suzuki India plant in Gujarat will be set up on 1,750 acres of land provided by Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC).

Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghvi and Maruti Suzuki Whole Time Director and Executive Committee Member Sunil Kakkar were also present on this occasion.

Maruti Suzuki began operations in 1983 with its first production facility in Gurugram, Haryana.

Over the years, the company expanded its manufacturing footprint, including facilities in Gurugram, Manesar, and Kharkhoda in Haryana, and recently amalgamated the Gujarat plant into its operations.

Today, Maruti Suzuki manufactures 17 models and over 650 variants across these state-of-the-art facilities. Looking ahead, the Company plans to enhance its manufacturing capacity to 4 million units per annum to meet rising domestic demand and serve international markets.

Maruti Suzuki India has produced over 22.55 lakh units in 2025, its highest-ever production in a calendar year, according to a statement from the carmaker.

This is the second consecutive year that the automobile company has exceeded 20 lakh units in annual production. The production includes vehicles for domestic sales, exports and (original equipment manufacturer) OEM supplies.

The top five models by production volume during the year were Fronx, Baleno, Swift, Dzire and Ertiga, the company earlier said.

According to the carmaker, this milestone reflects the company's strong focus on delivering products in line with customer demand across domestic and international markets.

Great investment, but I hope the environmental impact assessment for such a large plant on 1750 acres is done thoroughly. Development is important, but so is protecting our land and water resources.

Maruti is an Indian success story. Started in '83 and now aiming for 40 lakh capacity! Shows what long-term vision and understanding the Indian customer can do. Baleno and Swift are family favourites.

Rs 35,000 crores! That's a massive vote of confidence in Gujarat's industrial policy. Hope the local youth get skill training to grab these new jobs. The ripple effect on ancillary industries will be huge.

Interesting to see the focus on exports - 'Made for the World'. With production already over 22 lakh units, this expansion will really help India's position in the global auto market. The Fronx seems to be a hit!

While this is positive, I hope the plant also focuses on manufacturing more electric and hybrid vehicles. The future is green mobility, and we need our champions like Maruti to lead that charge, not just produce more petrol cars.
