Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

Maruti Suzuki India, country’s largest car maker is reportedly planning to start transporting its vehicles through rail wagons specially designed to carry more cars. This initiative will not only save cost but also make the journey to stockyards faster. The company can transport around 310 vehicles in a wagon instead of 10 in a truck it moves now.

Once the service starts, Maruti Suzuki will become the first car maker company in India to do so. This initiative is likely to start from January and the company plans to transport at least 30% of the production through railways.

Maruti Suzuki registered a fall of 10.70% in its total car sales (Domestic + Export) for the month of November at 92,140 units, as against 1,03,200 units in November 2012. The company’s domestic sales declined by 5.90% in November 2013 to 85,510 units, as against 90,882 units in corresponding month last year.
