The country's largest car maker Maruti is targeting sales of about 9.5 lakh vehicles this fiscal, close to the current capacity of a million (10 lakh) units of its Gurgaon and Manesar facilities together. The company was earlier targeting a 5% sales growth this fiscal, but has since revised its forecast to 10% for the domestic market. The export target has also been increased to 1.3-1.5 lakh units from 1.2 lakh units earlier. At present, on account of capacity constraints, there is already a waiting period for some of its popular models such as the Swift Dzire, Ritz and Swift diesel. Due to this, the company will soon increase its production capacity by at least one lakh vehicles.
Maruti could add a production line at the existing site, but a final decision would be taken only when the Suzuki Motor Company chairman Osamu Suzuki visits
Going by industry sources, putting up capacity for 1 lakh units typically needs an investment of about Rs 1,500 crore. The proposed new line would take at least a year to be up and running. Hence the company is thinking of capacity expansion now.crackcrack
