Maruti Dzire Crosses 30 Lakh Production Milestone

The Dzire has joined the Alto, Swift and Wagon R to become the carmaker’s fourth model to achieve this production milestone

Maruti had recently announced that it crossed a production milestone of 20 lakh units for its Manesar factory in 2024. Now, it looks like the carmaker is on a roll as the Maruti Dzire has crossed the production milestone of 30 lakh units since its inception in March 2008. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how much time the popular subcompact sedan took to reach this milestone.

The table shows that the Dzire took over 7 years to reach the first major 10 lakh production milestone since its launch. After that, another 10 lakh cars were produced in over 4 years and the carmaker reached the next 10 lakh Dzire models in another 5 years. This means that the carmaker took a total of over 16 years to reach the 30 lakh production milestone. The Dzire was also the second-highest exported model by Maruti Suzuki in FY 2023-24.

Notably, the Maruti Alto, Swift and Wagon R have already crossed their 30 lakh production milestones previously. Maruti also stated in April 2024 that it has crossed a milestone of a cumulative production of more than 3 crore cars.
