Suzuki Targets 4 mn Units in India by FY30, Builds Global Hub

Suzuki Motor Corporation plans to raise annual production capacity in India to approximately 4 mn units from fiscal 2030, strengthening the country’s role as a manufacturing and export hub for its global operations. The Japanese car maker announced the target as part of its Technology Strategy 2026, which outlines its development and manufacturing priorities for the coming decade.

The company also aims to improve development efficiency by 30 per cent from the FY20 level and manufacturing efficiency by 50 per cent by FY30. It plans to halve the lead time required to develop new vehicles by improving coordination between engineering and manufacturing activities.

Suzuki has been expanding its Indian manufacturing base through facilities in Gurugram and Manesar, followed by the Hansalpur plant, which began operations in 2017, and the Kharkhoda plant, launched in 2025. The new facilities are intended to support higher production volumes and increase the company’s ability to serve overseas markets from India.

Under the strategy, Suzuki will advance concurrent development across engineering and manufacturing, deepen the use of digital engineering and promote modularisation. These measures are intended to help the company deliver products suited to individual markets more quickly while using technologies developed in Japan.

Suzuki, which holds approximately a 58 per cent stake in Maruti Suzuki India, said it would also accelerate its multi-pathway approach to address differences in energy availability and infrastructure across markets. The approach includes adapting to higher raw material and energy costs, as well as tighter environmental and safety regulations. Suzuki said development and manufacturing processes would be transformed together to deliver products aligned with local customer requirements and support its goal of minimising energy use.
