The Early Days |
|
|
|
| |
The Maruti story began in the early 1980s when scooters had a waiting period and the Indian car customer had limited options.
The Government of India identified the need for a small car for the Indian masses, a car that would be economical, environment friendly yet contemporary in technology. In short 'A people's car'
A global search for an efficient technology partner resulted in Suzuki -then the leader in small cars in Japan being chosen for the now historical Maruti-Suzuki partnership. |

The company was born in Feb, 1981. |

From the very beginning, the growth of Maruti has influenced the growth of the country as a whole. |

Maruti's growth has been synonymous with the Indian auto industry. The inception of Maruti in 1981 saw the growth of many automotive ancillary manufacturers.
The company set up a network of component vendors, dealers and service stations and facilitated around 60 technical collaborations for Indian vendors from Japanese, European and even American partners to upgrade technology and quality levels. Along with this came the task of instituting quality processes and systems across this network. Today, the suppliers to Maruti are huge corporations themselves and are today in the global business arena. |
