Maruti Suzuki India on Thursday (July 30, 2026) said its Hansalpur-based manufacturing facility in Gujarat has attained 10 lakh annual production capacity, making it Suzuki’s largest passenger vehicle production site globally.
With the start of production at the fourth plant (Plant D) at Hansalpur, Maruti Suzuki’s total manufacturing capacity across Haryana and Gujarat has risen to 29 lakh units per annum.
The auto major said it has cumulatively invested ₹25,288.7 crore in the 640-acre Hansalpur facility. This includes an investment of around ₹3,900 crore on Plant D.
The new plant will initially produce the company’s flagship Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), e-Vitara.
Following the start of the fourth plant (Plant D) with an annual production capacity of 2.5 lakh units, the Hansalpur facility’s total annual production capacity has increased to 10 lakh units annually from 7.5 lakh units, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) said in a statement.
“This marks the first time in Suzuki’s history that the total annual production capacity at a single manufacturing facility has reached 1 million units,” the company said.
It also makes Maruti Suzuki’s Hansalpur plant India’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturing facility at a single location, it added.
Commenting on the development, MSIL MD & CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said Gujarat has emerged as a manufacturing and export hub for Maruti Suzuki, backed by strong infrastructure and a progressive industrial ecosystem.
“The new line will further strengthen our ability to meet the growing demand from customers in India and overseas while advancing our ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ vision and expanding our global footprint,” he noted.
Takeuchi further said, “Together, the Hansalpur and the upcoming Sanand facility in Gujarat will play a pivotal role in achieving our long-term ambition of producing 40 lakh units annually in India”.
These projects reflect the company’s commitment to strengthening India’s manufacturing competitiveness, creating employment, boosting exports and contributing towards Viksit Bharat, he added.
The Hansalpur facility produces Fronx, Baleno, Swift and e-Vitara models.
The facility has emerged as a major export hub for the company, accounting for nearly 47% of its overall overseas shipments in FY26.
Maruti Suzuki shares ended the day up 1.77% at $14,188.9 apiece on BSE.
