We have heard that the country’s largest automaker will soon start work on a new production plant in Sonepat, Haryana, and this new plant will be Maruti Suzuki’s largest in India. It is not news that a new factory in Maruti Suzuki is under construction. We had a lot of discussions on this last year. However, there may be news that the company’s new manufacturing plant in the country could become the largest Maruti Suzuki plant in India. Yes, according to a new ET report, the country’s largest automaker will soon begin work on a new production facility in Sonepat, Haryana, which will be the company’s largest facility in the country. Currently, Maruti Suzuki has two factories in India: one in Gurugram and the other in Manesar.
R. C. Bhargava, chairman of Maruti Suzuki, told the publication that construction work on the new plant will begin soon. The new Maruti Suzuki factory in Sonnpat is expected to open in 2025. He explained that the company is currently awaiting the necessary approvals and permits, and the first assembly line of the new factory unit will be operational within three years, by 2025.
Interestingly, the Sony Pat factory in Maruti Suzuki alone can have a total installed capacity of around 1 million units. This is because, Bhargava explained, the Sonipat plant has the necessary land to build a fourth assembly line. Not so at the company’s facilities in Gurugram and Manesar. Maruti Suzuki currently operates three assembly lines each at its Gurugram and Manesar plants; together these facilities provide an annual production capacity of approximately 1.5 million units.
Sonipat’s new factory, with a total investment of around Rs 18,000 crore, is designed to help the company move out of the Gurugram factory, which has suffered heavy losses due to congestion and traffic.
