FUTURE PLANS

 Maruti Suzuki which controls slightly over half of the

domestic car market in the country has said that it
would design SMALL CARS suitable for the Indian
conditions as a strategy to beat the stiff competition
with the entry of global auto makers.
 The company's annual report also emphasised its
growing focus on the EXPORT market. Maruti Suzuki is
looking to make India an exclusive base to
manufacture small cars for Europe.
 Maruti Suzuki India limited keen to retain its 50%
market share has proudly announced its expansion
plans for the coming years.
 The company announced the expansion of  Manesar
plant in addition to the Rs 1,700 crore, 250,000-unit
line at the same facility the firm had announced in
March.
 Mr R C Bhargava, Chairman MSIL says indicated that
the company is working on more FUEL-EFFICIENT
engines, which would offer more than the current 20
km to a litre and  lesser carbon dioxide emissions. It
would be launching compact cars with more features
to meet the needs of the customers locally.
