Aerial video showing thousands of cars at Maruti Suzuki Dockyard in Gujarat goes viral

Hansalpur: An aerial video capturing thousands of gleaming Maruti Suzuki cars lined up at the company’s stockyard in Hansalpur has gone viral on social media, leaving viewers awestruck at the sheer scale of India’s automobile production. The clip, showcasing an endless stretch of parked vehicles, represents only a fraction of the output from one of India’s most significant automobile manufacturing hubs.

Spread across hundreds of acres, the Hansalpur plant is Maruti Suzuki’s key production facility in Gujarat, with an annual manufacturing capacity of 7,50,000 cars. Meanwhile, the viral visuals reflect just 2–3% of this capacity.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Maruti Suzuki’s first Made-in-India electric vehicle, the e-VITARA, from the Hansalpur plant. Reiterating his vision of “Make in India, Make for the World,” the Prime Minister said facilities like these have transformed India from a domestic-focused market into a global manufacturing hub.

Commissioned in 2017, the Gujarat plant is fully owned by Suzuki Motor Corporation and supplies exclusively to Maruti Suzuki India Limited. It produces popular models including the Baleno, Swift, Dzire, and Fronx, many of which are exported to over 100 countries across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

This global outreach has made Gujarat the heart of Maruti Suzuki’s export operations and a pivotal contributor to India’s emergence as the third-largest exporter of passenger vehicles globally in 2023–24.

As the buzz around the viral video continues, the Hansalpur stockyard has inadvertently become a showcase of the country’s “Make in India, Make for the World” ambition—one car at a time. DeshGujarat
