Maruti Suzuki – The Past and Present
Started off as Maruti Udyog in 1981, it was an Indian government-run automobile company and then back in 2003, the Government decided to sell it off to Suzuki Motor Company. Since then, it has been the largest car manufacturer in the country and currently has a market share of around 50 per cent in the passenger car segment. In terms of export figure, the company recently crossed the 2 million mark. Maruti Suzuki’s main reason for success is its wide network of service centres which stands at 4,000+ units across the country. This helps in catering to the demand of people residing in the 2nd and 3rd tier cities. The launch of the Nexa brand helped Maruti Suzuki to depict itself as a more premium offering. Despite the Covid-19 lockdown for the most part of 2020, the company sold close to 1,60,700 units in the last calendar year which is quite a remarkable figure.
The Road Ahead For Maruti Suzuki
The highly anticipated Jimny will probably hit the Indian market very soon. When launched, it will try to ease off some pressure from its sole rival, the Mahindra Thar which is currently witnessing a waiting period of more than 9 months in some cities. Maruti Suzuki is also planning to bring back diesel powertrains in the second half of 2021 which will help to capture a larger share in the market.
