Maruti Suzuki’s Hansalpur complex reaches 1m-unit annual capacity with Plant D (resurfacing a July 2026 move)
Our read
Hansalpur’s 1 million-unit capacity makes Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat hub a larger export-first EV manufacturing base, with supplier localization and dealer EV readiness becoming the key constraints rather than assembly capacity.
For strategy teams
Hansalpur’s scale positions Maruti Suzuki as a more credible export-oriented EV manufacturing hub, potentially increasing its strategic leverage with technology, battery and supply-chain partners.
