Intro: Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of Parliament, to meet the growing demand of a personal mode of transport caused by the lack of an efficient public transport system.
A license and a joint venture agreement was signed with Suzuki Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct 1982, by which Suzuki acquired 26% share of the equity. Suzuki increased its equity to 40% in 1989 and further to 50% in 1992, converting Maruti into a non-government company.
Maruti quickly became the biggest car factory in India. The sales figure for the year 1993 reached up to 1,96,820. The company reached a total production of one million vehicles in March 1994 becoming the first Indian Company to cross this milestone. It crossed the two million mark in 1997.
All of their models are still Suzuki license versions, like the 800 which is based on the ancient Alto or the Esteem which is identical to the Swift. |
