Suzuki, Maruti Launch Osamu Suzuki Centre in Gujarat, Haryana

Suzuki Motor Corporation and Maruti Suzuki India Limited have announced the launch of the Osamu Suzuki Centre of Excellence (OSCOE) in Gujarat and Haryana.

The centre will honour Osamu Suzuki, the former chairman of Suzuki Motor Corporation, who passed away in December 2024.

OSCOE aims to promote Japanese manufacturing practices across diverse industries, with a focus on fostering innovation, efficiency, and inclusivity in line with India’s manufacturing growth ambitions. The facility will support skill development among component manufacturers and facilitate collaboration with academic institutions to propagate Japanese production philosophies.

The initiative reflects Osamu Suzuki’s legacy in transforming India’s automotive landscape. Through the Maruti Suzuki joint venture, Suzuki played a pivotal role in making car ownership accessible to India’s growing middle class, thereby establishing the country as a leading automobile producer.

Beyond the auto sector, the centre will extend its impact to other manufacturing fields, promoting quality and competitiveness. Osamu Suzuki was honoured with India’s Padma Bhushan in 2007 and posthumously with the Padma Vibhushan in 2025, recognising his contribution to India–Japan economic ties.
