Good milestone, but I hate this idea of a "Suzuki" factory. It's a classic example of Suzuki milking Maruti for all that it can. Maruti has enormous cash reserves and can very well build its own factories. Why the heck does it need to "buy" cars from a Suzuki factory in Gujarat, owned by Suzuki Japan?
