Suzuki 2-wheelers India reaches 30 lakh production milestone

Suzuki two-wheelers India has reached a milestone of producing 30 lakh units in the country. The company had started its Indian operations in February 2006 and has thus reached the said milestone after over 11 years of its presence in the country.

The landmark vehicle, a Suzuki Access 125, was rolled out on April 17, 2017 at the company's production facility in Gurgaon, Haryana. This plant currently has a capacity 5,40,000 units per annum, which will likely be increased in the near future. The Gurgaon production facility is spread over a land area of 37 acres, out of which around 10 acres is occupied by the current factory arrangement. The remaining area can thus be used for future expansion.

In addition to producing two-wheelers for the Indian market, the factory is also responsible for producing international-spec models that are then exported to various other markets. The automaker had recently started exporting made in India Gixxer motorcycles to Japan.

At the moment, Suzuki two-wheelers India produces 6 products at its Gurgaon plant - Let's, Access 125, Hayate, Gixxer, Gixxer SF and the Hayabusa.
