Maruti Suzuki to buy 1 lakh diesel engines per year from Fiat

29 Nov 2011 Evaluate

In a bid to meet demand for diesel cars, India’s largest car-maker Maruti Suzuki India has finalized a deal to purchase up to 1 lakh diesel engines per year from Italy’s Fiat. With this deal Maruti plans to raise Swift hatchback output from January 2012. 

Earlier this month, the company raised diesel car prices by up to Rs 10,000, taking advantage of the demand for the segment as input costs continue to go up.

Maruti, which has installed capacity to make about 1.5 million cars a year, is expanding one of its existing plants to reach 1.75 million annual capacity. Further, the company is in the process of buying land to build a new factory in Gujarat but, will start work at the plant depending on the demand scenario.

Maruti Suzuki, 54.2-percent owned by Japan’s Suzuki Motor Corp reported a more than halving of its quarterly net profit, wider than industry estimates, hit by labour unrest at Manesar plant and rising interest rates in Asia's third-largest economy.

The company’s net profit declined by 59.81% at Rs 240.44 crore as compared to Rs 598.24 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The company’s total income decreased by 14.36% at Rs 7949.36 crore for the second quarter of the current fiscal whereas the same was at Rs 9282.30 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
