Suzuki, Volkswagen likely to fix India plans by early 2011: Maruti

01 Nov 2010 Evaluate

Two leading global car makers Suzuki and Volkswagen are likely to announce India-specific plans that may include joint production and vehicle design by early next year. Volkswagen (VW) had last year picked up 19.9 per cent stake in Suzuki Motor Corp (SMC) for USD 2.5 billion, following which the partners have been exploring possibilities of joint production and vehicle design. Early this month, Volkswagen AG Chairman Martin Winterkorn had said that the German firm is likely to finalise a decision by the first half of 2011 on the development of an India-specific small car with the Japanese firm. Besides, another discussion point between SMC and VW is about bringing in advanced diesel technology into India from the German carmaker's portfolio as MSI lacks in that front. Winterkorn had said that VW and SMC are talking to share technologies to develop diesel engines, which in future may come to the Indian market also.

While SMC is keen to get VW's technology, the German firm is interested in MSI's expertise in high volume production at a very competitive cost and efficiency. A new entrant in India, VW is yet to gain firm ground. In contrast, MSI is the largest brand with just less than 50 per cent share in the 15 lakh units Indian car market. crackcrack
