Maruti ramps up Vitara Brezza production to meet demand

Last month, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza clocked 7193 unit sales, thus overtaking the Hyundai Creta which was leading the crossover segment till now. Maruti Suzuki has constantly been suffering to cope up with the huge demand that the Brezza has accumulated. With waiting periods rising to 8 months, the company has now decided to ramp up production of the Brezza to 10,000 units per month.

This is not the first time that the automaker has revised production plans of the Brezza. After it received a favourable response at the 2016 Auto Expo, Maruti decided to enhance production plans of the Vitara Brezza to 100,000 units per annum, as compared to 80,000 units announced earlier. This clearly shows that the Brezza has surpassed expectations of Maruti Suzuki itself.

The enhanced production run would begin from July. There are still around 52,000 orders pending for the Brezza, across the country. In addition to the Brezza, Maruti is also ramping up production of the Baleno premium hatchback, as it currently has a waiting period of around 4 months.
