The investment also includes some common infrastructure and facilities for future plants as well.

“The Board today approved the addition of the first phase of capacity of 250,000 vehicles per annum at Khoraj Industrial Estate,” Maruti Suzuki said in a regulatory filing.

This first phase of capacity of 250,000 vehicles per annum is expected to be added by 2029 subject to market conditions.

The total existing capacity is around 24 lakh units per annum in Gurugram, Manesar, Kharkhoda and Hansalpur, with a capability to produce 26 lakh units per annum. This includes the units produced at the erstwhile Suzuki Motor Gujarat Private Limited, which has been amalgamated with the company.

The expansion comes amid rising market demand, including exports.

In January this year, the company's board approved a ₹4,960-crore proposal to acquire land and expand its manufacturing capacity in Gujarat.
