Modi to lay the foundation stone for Maruti Suzuki's Plants in Gujarat

Hansalpur plant to be established with an estimated investment of Rs 7,300 crore while the Kharkhoda plant will produce 1 million passenger vehicles annually

Maruti Suzuki recently presented its annual report for the fiscal year 2021-22 titled ‘40 Years of Maruti Suzuki - Joy of Mobility’. The Indian automobile manufacturer plans to celebrate this event by establishing two new manufacturing sites and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for both key projects -- Suzuki Motor Gujarat Electric Vehicle Battery Manufacturing Facility in Hansalpur, and Maruti Suzuki's forthcoming vehicle manufacturing facility in Kharkhoda, Haryana.

The Hansalpur facility would be constructed with an investment of approximately Rs 7,300 crore to produce batteries for electric vehicles using Advance Chemistry Cell technology.

The car production complex in Kharkhoda will produce 1 million passenger vehicles annually, making it one of the most extensive passenger vehicle manufacturing facilities in a single location. The project’s initial phase will require more than Rs 11,000 crore. The project in Haryana will be the company's third and probably most significant in the state. The new factory will be constructed on an 800-acre plot of land at IMT Kharkhoda in Sonipat. The first facility with an annual production capacity of 2.5 million automobiles is anticipated to be operational by 2025.
