Maruti Suzuki is India’s largest Passenger Car manufacturer, with over 50% market share and the widest sales and service network. It is also the market leader in the A2 segment – the largest segment in passenger cars. Maruti has successfully held on to its position despite competition till now However, competition is set to become fierce in the near future.
