Maruti Suzuki's Gujarat Rail Siding Recognized as First Verra Modal Shift Project

Maruti Suzuki India's Gujarat in-plant railway siding has been recognized as the world's first modal shift transportation project under Verra's Verified Carbon Standard program. By shifting vehicle dispatches from road to rail, the project is expected to reduce approximately 1.7 lakh tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions over a 10-year period from FY 2023-24 to FY 2032-33. This initiative aims to lower carbon emissions, ease road congestion, and reduce fossil fuel consumption. Following independent verification, Verra will issue carbon credits to Maruti Suzuki, marking a significant step in sustainable logistics and the company's environmental commitments.
