Suzuki Asks Indian Suppliers to Adopt Six-Day Production for Maintenance by 2027
Suzuki Motor has instructed its Indian suppliers to halt production one day per week for machine maintenance to prevent unscheduled stoppages and maintain quality. This directive supports Maruti Suzuki's plan to increase annual car production from 2.4 million to 4 million by 2030. Suppliers are required to confirm that production lines will not operate seven days a week, aiming for a six-day, 20-hour operational model by September 2027. Maruti Suzuki is also preparing new vehicle launches to regain market share amid rising competition.
