Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced the commencement of commercial production at the fourth plant (Plant D) of its manufacturing facility in Hansalpur, Gujarat, effective July 30, 2026. This expansion increases the Hansalpur facility's total annual production capacity from 750,000 units to 1 million units, marking a significant milestone as the first Suzuki manufacturing site globally to reach this capacity at a single location.

The cumulative investment at the Hansalpur facility amounts to ₹25,288.7 crore (approximately $3,034.6 million), with an estimated investment of ₹3,900 crore ($468 million) for the new Plant D. This new plant will initially produce the company's flagship Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), the e VITARA.
The Hansalpur facility currently produces models such as FRONX, Baleno, Swift, and e VITARA, and has become a major export hub, contributing nearly 47% of the company's overseas shipments in FY2025-26. Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, stated that the expansion augments the Hansalpur facility's capacity to one million vehicles, strengthening the company's ability to meet growing domestic and international demand and advancing its 'Make in India, Make for the World' vision.
