Maruti Suzuki Plans Rs 14,000 Crore Capex to Expand Capacity Amid Strong Demand

Maruti Suzuki plans a record Rs 14,000 crore capital expenditure in FY27 to expand production capacity amid strong demand and full utilisation of existing plants. The company is adding two new lines at Kharkhoda and Hansalpur, expected to add 5 lakh units annually, focusing on small cars to meet mass mobility needs. Despite rising raw material costs and mark-to-market losses affecting profits, demand remains robust with a backlog of orders, and geopolitical tensions have not significantly impacted sales.
