KATHMANDU: Suzuki Motor Corporation has made India a key part of its global plans for the next 10 years.
Under its new Technology Strategy 2026, Suzuki plans to increase its production capacity in India to 4 million vehicles a year by 2030. Its new Kharkhoda plant alone will eventually produce 1 million vehicles annually.
India is already Suzuki’s largest production base. Maruti Suzuki India accounts for more than 40% of Suzuki’s annual revenue and around 60% of its global production.
Suzuki also plans to cut the time needed to develop new vehicles by half. The company will use more digital technology and common vehicle platforms to make development and production faster.
The automaker will continue developing different powertrain technologies, including hybrids, turbo-petrol engines and EV technology. It will also work on lighter vehicle structures and software-based vehicle systems.
Suzuki is also expanding its focus on cleaner mobility in India. Its third biogas plant started operations in August 2026, using cow dung to produce biogas while returning organic fertilizer to local communities, according to Indian media reports.
