TL;DR
Maruti Suzuki aims for 45% green car sales by March 2027, driven by the launch of its first EV, the e-Vitara, and a significant investment in charging infrastructure.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., the nation's largest carmaker, is set to significantly increase its share of greener vehicles in total sales. The company anticipates that alternative-fuel-powered cars will account for approximately 45% of its overall sales in the fiscal year ending March 2027. This ambitious target is largely driven by the upcoming debut of its first all-electric vehicle, the e-Vitara.
To support this electric push, Maruti Suzuki is investing around 2.5 billion rupees ($28 million) into charging and service infrastructure. This includes plans for over 2,000 charging stations, partnerships with 13 third-party charge-point operators to access 12,000 chargers, and the establishment of 1,500 EV-enabled workshops across more than 1,000 Indian cities.
The e-Vitara, a subcompact crossover, is scheduled to roll out from early next year. Maruti Suzuki also plans to introduce three more electric models by 2030, aiming for 15% EV penetration in India by the end of the decade.
