Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) has trained over two million people under its safe driving initiative at its various driving training facilities in the country. The company had started its safe driving initiative with Institute of Driving Training and Research (IDTR) in partnership with Delhi Government in the year 2000.

At present, the company manages six IDTRs including two in NCR and one each in Dehradun, Baroda, Rohtak and Bahadurgarh, in partnership with state governments. These institutes offer learner and refresher courses, including to commercial vehicle drivers.

Maruti Suzuki also collaborates with its dealers who manage and operate nearly 320 Maruti Driving Schools (MDS) across the country. MDS are neighbourhood driving schools that are equipped with driving simulators and offer a mix of class-room and practical training by trained instructors (including women). Over half the people trained at MDS are women.
