New Delhi: India’s leading automaker, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), has received approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for the merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, Suzuki Motor Gujarat Private Limited (SMG).

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has approved the amalgamation of Suzuki Motor Gujarat Private Limited (SMG), a wholly owned subsidiary, into and with Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), the company announced recently.

The order, delivered on November 6, 2025, by the Principal Bench presided over by Justice Ramalingam Sudhakar and Technical Member Ravindra Chaturvedi, paves the way for enhanced efficiency and unified control over production facilities.

The scheme of amalgamation, filed under Sections 230–232 of the Companies Act, 2013, stipulates that all assets, liabilities, contracts, employees, and intellectual property of SMG will transfer to MSIL effective April 1, 2025. As SMG is fully owned by MSIL, no new shares will be issued, and the subsidiary will be dissolved without winding up.

This integration officially brings SMG’s Gujarat plant in Hansalpur—key for models like the Swift and Baleno—directly under MSIL’s umbrella, strengthening supply chain coordination and operational synergy.

The merger aligns with MSIL’s strategy to simplify its corporate structure. Originally incorporated in 1981 as Maruti Udyog Limited, the company has an authorized share capital of ₹1,875 crore and a paid-up capital of ₹157.20 crore. The move is expected to boost competitiveness in India’s booming auto sector.

Industry experts predict the merger will optimize costs and accelerate innovation, ultimately benefiting consumers with better vehicles. DeshGujarat
