Maruti Suzuki India Ltd’s Manesar facility has achieved a cumulative production of 10 million units, the company announced today. The one crore milestone vehicle to roll out from the facility is the popular compact SUV, Brezza.

The Manesar plant, which began operations in October 2006, reached this landmark in just 18 years, making it the fastest among Suzuki's global automobile manufacturing facilities to do so, Maruti Suzuki said.

Hisashi Takeuchi, managing director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, commented on the achievement, "Crossing the 1 crore cumulative production mark at our Manesar facility is a testament to India's manufacturing capability and our commitment to the larger national goal of 'Make in India'."

The 600-acre facility at Manesar produces several models including Brezza, Ertiga, XL6, Ciaz, Dzire, Wagon R, S-Presso, and Celerio. These vehicles are sold domestically and exported to Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and neighboring Asian countries.

Takeuchi also highlighted the company's focus on local manufacturing, stating that it has helped establish a vast supply chain in India. He noted that the large-scale manufacturing facilities have provided direct and indirect employment to millions of people.

As of April 2024, Maruti Suzuki's overall production capability stands– at approximately 2.35 million units per annum. Since its inception, the company has produced over 31.1 million vehicles.

Maruti Suzuki, a joint venture between Japan's Suzuki Motor Corporation and the Indian government (initially), has been a key player in India's automotive sector since the 1980s. The company played a crucial role in the development of India's passenger car market.
