Maruti Suzuki India announced the commencement of commercial production at the second plant of its Kharkhoda manufacturing facility in Haryana. This second plant has an annual production capacity of 2.5 lakh units, taking the total capacity at Kharkhoda to 5 lakh units. Maruti Suzuki’s overall annual production capacity across its facilities in Gurugram, Manesar and Kharkhoda in Haryana, and Hansalpur in Gujarat is now 26.5 lakh units.
Once fully operational, the Kharkhoda facility will be among Suzuki’s largest four-wheeler manufacturing locations with capacity to produce 1 million vehicles per annum. Maruti Suzuki had earlier indicated its plan to add 5 lakh units of capacity in FY 2026–27, and the addition is in line with this plan.
Maruti Suzuki currently manufactures the compact SUV Brezza and mid-SUV Victoris at the facility. The foundation stone of the Kharkhoda facility was laid by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in August 2022.
