“We should take a final decision on setting up a car manufacturing plant in Gujarat in the next-six weeks when land allocation is expected to happen, ” Maruti Suzuki Chairman RC Bhargava told Economic Times in an interview.
“We have no scope for expansion at Manesar(Haryana), so any additional capacity will come up in Gujarat and eventually would turn out to be our hub for making cars in India,” Bhargava said.
According to report, the company is buying two 600-acre chunks of land in Gujarat, where one would be reserved for making cars and the other would be allotted to vendors for components and other ancillary operations.
The report says that Maruti will cease carmaking at Gurgaon and turn it into an engine-making hub as Gurgaon is now too congested to have a car assembly plant. The company has already stopped two manually operated car assembly lines this year
