As per the reports in the market it was being said that Maruti will move the production from the Gurgaon facility, which the company chairman Mr RC Bhargava denied. He stated that Maruti India does not intend to shift the auto manufacturing out of its Gurgaon facility entirely in the near future. Maruti Suzuki will not close down production at its Gurgaon plant and the projected facility at Gujarat will only start making cars when the Gujarat and Manesar plant are fully utilized.The company have set the plans to shut down just one manufacturing unit out of the three facility at Gurgaon, which in turn will reduce the production competence by 30%. With shutting down one facility by 2015, the production will come down to five lakh cars per annum which at present is 7.2 lakh.
The closed down unit will be used as a new diesel engine assembly facility that will have a competence of 3 lakh engines and also build components. Maruti has reduced the manufacturing in lieu of the complaints being filed against the company by the residents. The locals were hassled by the movement of the truck trailers and the large quantities of incoming material. At Maruti’s Gurgaon facility the production now is around the installed competence as per the market condition. Incidentally, when the market was booming the production was increased to about a million cars with extended shifts, overtime, and other improvised procedures.
