Maruti’s First Made In India Car in 2012

Maruti Suzuki has been a leader in the Indian auto market since quite a few decades. The new plans from the company reveal that it definitely intends to hold its position for next few decades as well. The company has currently outgrown its parent company Suzuki Motor Corp. in sales figures.

So far all Maruti models have been brain child of Suzuki’s R&D facility in Japan and India. Now, MSIL intends to do better than that and will have its own research facility near Rohtak. The company has been on talent hunt globally and has recruited nearly 1000 engineers for its new R&D facility. Maruti will launch its completely Made In India car by 2012 - a car that has been conceived, designed, developed and produced exclusively in India. The R&D facility at Rohtak will be completely taken over by Maruti as a self-reliant set up.

Maruti’s current most successful models like A-Star and Eeco have already established company’s strength and expertise in developing cars exclusively as per customer choice. “The idea is that the development of small new cars particularly for India should be done more and more in India,” said Maruti Suzuki chairman RC Bhargava.
