Maruti Suzuki to produce Baleno at Gujarat plant as well

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno has been a strong seller in the B2 segment since its launch in October 2015. The demand for the car is high and in some cities, delivery can take up to eight months. To bring down these long waiting periods, Maruti is planning to increase the Baleno's production.

At present, Maruti manufactures the Baleno at its Manesar facility in the state of Haryana. In an interview, R. C. Bhargava, Chairman, Maruti Suzuki India, has stated that the company will manufacture the car at the upcoming Suzuki plant in Gujarat as well.

Apart from the strong local demand, it must be remembered that the Baleno is manufactured only in India and exported to markets all over the world. The car has risen to the top of the list of exported cars for the company.

The Gujarat plant is expected to start rolling out vehicles in 2017.
