From Imports To Exports: India-Made EVs For 100+ Countries | Maruti’s Rahul Bharti

Maruti Suzuki accounts for 47% of all passenger car exports from India, said Rahul Bharti, Senior Executive Director. The comments came as the company launched its first electric vehicle, the E-Vitara, which will be made in India and exported to over 100 countries. Bharti also noted that clean and green technologies should be encouraged with a commensurate policy framework to the extent they can reduce oil consumption or emissions. The announcements are part of a larger plan by parent company Suzuki to invest ₹70,000 crore in India. This investment will help increase production capacity from 2 million to 4 million units. Additionally, a subsidiary, TDSG—a joint venture of Suzuki, Toshiba, and Denso—has achieved electrode-level localization for lithium-ion battery manufacturing, bolstering India's goal of self-reliance in the EV supply chain.
