Production Capacity
The Kharkhoda plant begins operations with an annual production capacity of 250,000 units. With this addition, Maruti Suzuki’s total production capacity across all its facilities has now increased to 2.6 million units per year.
To start with, the facility will manufacture the Brezza, one of Maruti’s most popular sub-four-meter SUVs. The production of other models is expected to follow as the plant scales up operations.
Kharkhoda Facility
This new facility plays a crucial role in Maruti’s long-term growth strategy. With rising demand for its cars in both domestic and international markets, the additional production capacity will help Maruti reduce waiting periods and meet customer expectations more efficiently.
Moreover, the plant is expected to create thousands of jobs, boosting the local economy in Haryana. It also aligns with Maruti’s future expansion plans, especially as the company gears up for its electric vehicle (EV) transition.
Maruti’s Electric Future
Alongside the start of production at the Kharkhoda plant, Maruti Suzuki is preparing to launch its first electric vehicle for India, the e Vitara. The electric SUV was showcased in its production-ready form at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 and is set to hit the market later this year.
The e Vitara will compete with the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV, and MG ZS EV. It is expected to come with two battery pack options, offering a range of up to 500 km on a single charge.
What to Expect Next
With the Kharkhoda plant now operational, Maruti Suzuki is well-positioned to strengthen its production capabilities while advancing its electric mobility plans. The launch of the e Vitara will mark a major milestone for the brand as it enters the EV segment, competing against established players.
As Maruti continues to expand, more models are likely to be produced at this facility in the future, further solidifying its dominance in the Indian automobile industry.
