Ahmedabad: Encouraged by support of the state and central government, Suzuki Motors has started working on ‘B’ line at its Gujarat plant. This is the second line in addition to existing ‘A’ line which is going to be inaugurated next month.

A 2.5 lakh/annum capacity ‘B’ line work has been launched on Monday. Target completion date for this second line is 30th December 2017. After a month long trial period, ‘B’ line may start delivering cars from February 1 next year.

This second line which is now being constructed by Shapoorji Pallonji is likely to cater export requirements.
