It started with the Maruti 800, based on the Suzuki Alto kei car which at the time was the only modern car available in India. Its only competitors were the Hindustan Ambassador and Premier Padmini. Originally, 74 % of the company was owned by the Indian government, and 26 % by Suzuki of Japan. As of May 2007, the government of India sold its complete share to Indian financial institutions and no longer has any stake in Maruti Udyog. Chronology Under the Maruti name In 1970, a private limited company named Surya Ram Maruti technical services private limited ( MTSPL ) was launched on November 16, 1970. The stated purpose of this company was to provide technical know - how for the design, manufacture and assembly of `` a wholly indigenous motor car ''. In June 1971, a company called Maruti limited was incorporated under the Companies Act. Maruti Limited went into liquidation in 1977. Maruti Udyog Ltd was incorporated through the efforts of Dr V. Krishnamurthy. Affiliation with Suzuki In 1982, a license & Joint Venture Agreement ( JVA ) was signed between Maruti Udyog Ltd, and Suzuki of Japan. At first, Maruti Suzuki was mainly an importer of cars. In India 's closed market, Maruti received the right to import 40,000 fully built - up Suzukis in the first two years, and even after that the early goal was to use only 33 % indigenous parts. This upset the local manufacturers considerably. There were also some concerns that the Indian market was too small to absorb the comparatively large production planned by Maruti Suzuki, with the government even considering adjusting the petrol tax and lowering the excise duty in order to boost sales. Finally, in 1983, the Maruti 800 was released. This 796 cc hatchback was based on the SS80 Suzuki Alto and was India 's first affordable car. Initial product plan was 40 % saloons, and 60 % Maruti Van. Local production commenced in December 1983. In 1984, the Maruti Van with the same three - cylinder engine as the 800 was released and the installed capacity of the plant in Gurgaon reached 40,000 units. In 1985, the Suzuki SJ410 - based Gypsy, a 970 cc 4WD off - road vehicle, was launched. In 1986, the original 800 was replaced by an all - new model of the 796 cc hatchback Suzuki Alto and the 100,000 th vehicle was produced by the company. In 1987, the company started exporting to the West, when a lot of 500 cars were sent to Hungary. By 1988, the capacity of the Gurgaon plant was increased to 100,000 units per annum. Market liberalisation In 1989, the Maruti 1000 was introduced and the 970 cc, three - box was India 's first contemporary sedan. By 1991, 65 percent of the components, for all vehicles produced, were indigenized. After liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991, Suzuki increased its stake in Maruti to 50 percent, making the company a 50 - 50 JV with the Government of India the other stake holder. In 1993, the Zen, a 993 cc, hatchback was launched and in 1994 the 1298 cc Esteem was introduced. Maruti produced its 1 millionth vehicle since the commencement of production in 1994. Maruti 's second plant was opened with annual capacity reaching 200,000 units. Maruti launched a 24 - hour emergency on - road vehicle service. In 1998, the new Maruti 800 was released, the first change in design since 1986. Zen D, a 1527 cc diesel hatchback and Maruti 's first diesel vehicle and a redesigned Omni were introduced. In 1999, the 1.6 litre Maruti Baleno three - box saloon and Wagon R were also launched. In 2000, Maruti became the first car company in India to launch a Call Center for internal and customer services. The new Alto model was released. In 2001, Maruti True Value, selling and buying used cars was launched. In October of the same year the Maruti Versa was launched. In 2002, Esteem Diesel was introduced. Two new subsidiaries were also started : Maruti Insurance Distributor Services and Maruti Insurance Brokers Limited. Suzuki Motor Corporation increased its stake in Maruti to 54.2 percent. In 2003, the new Suzuki Grand Vitara XL - 7 was introduced while the Zen and the Wagon R were upgraded and redesigned. The four millionth Maruti vehicle was built and they entered into a partnership with the State Bank of India. Maruti Udyog Ltd was Listed on BSE and NSE after a public issue, which was oversubscribed tenfold. In 2004, the Alto became India 's best selling car overtaking the Maruti 800 after nearly two decades. The five - seater Versa 5 - seater, a new variant, was created while the Esteem was re-launched. Maruti Udyog closed the financial year 2003 - 04 with an annual sale of 472,122 units, the highest ever since the company began operations and the fiftieth lakh ( 5 millionth ) car rolled out in April 2005. The 1.3 L Suzuki Swift five - door hatchback was introduced in 2005. In 2006 Suzuki and Maruti set up another joint venture, `` Maruti Suzuki Automobiles India '', to build two new manufacturing plants, one for vehicles and one for engines. Cleaner cars were also introduced, with several new models meeting the new `` Bharat Stage III '' standards. In February 2012, Maruti Suzuki sold its ten millionth vehicle in India. For the Month of July 2014, it had a Market share of > 45 %. Joint venture related issues Relationship between the Government of India, under the United Front ( India ) coalition and Suzuki Motor Corporation over the joint venture was a point of heated debate in the Indian media until Suzuki Motor Corporation gained the controlling stake. This highly profitable joint venture that had a near monopolistic trade in the Indian automobile market and the nature of the partnership built up till then was the underlying reason for most issues. The success of the joint venture led Suzuki to increase its equity from 26 % to 40 % in 1987, and to 50 % in 1992, and further to 56.21 % as of 2013. In 1982, both the venture partners entered into an agreement to nominate their candidate for the post of Managing Director and every Managing Director would have a tenure of five years Manufacturing facilities Maruti Suzuki has three manufacturing facilities in India. All manufacturing facilities have a combined production capacity of 1,700,000 vehicles annually. The Gurgaon manufacturing facility has three fully integrated manufacturing plants and is spread over 300 acres ( 1.2 km ). The Gurgaon facilities also manufacture 240,000 K - Series engines annually. The Gurgaon Facilities manufactures the Alto 800, WagonR, Omni, Gypsy King, Ertiga, S - Cross, Vitara Brezza, Ignis and Eeco. The Manesar manufacturing plant was inaugurated in February 2007 and is spread over 600 acres ( 2.4 km ). Initially it had a production capacity of 100,000 vehicles annually but this was increased to 300,000 vehicles annually in October 2008. The production capacity was further increased by 250,000 vehicles taking total production capacity to 800,000 vehicles annually. The Manesar Plant produces the Alto 800, Alto K10, Swift, Swift DZire, Ciaz, Baleno, Baleno RS and Celerio. On 25 June 2012, Haryana State Industries and Infrastructure Development Corporation demanded Maruti Suzuki to pay an additional Rs 235 crore for enhanced land acquisition for its Haryana plant expansion. The agency reminded Maruti that failure to pay the amount would lead to further proceedings and vacating the enhanced land acquisition. The launch of the Desire was happened in the month of May 2017 and the variant is said to have good milage The Gujarat manufacturing plant became operational in February 2017. The plant current capacity is about 250,000 units per year. But with new investments Maruti Suzuki has plan to take it to 450,000 units per year. In 2012, the company decided to merge Suzuki Powertrain India Limited ( SPIL ) with itself. SPIL was started as a JV by Suzuki Motor Corp. along with Maruti Suzuki. It has the facilities available for manufacturing diesel engines and transmissions. The demand for transmissions for all Maruti Suzuki cars is met by the production from SPIL. Industrial relations Since its founding in 1983, Maruti Udyog Limited has experienced problems with its labour force. The Indian labour it hired readily accepted Japanese work culture and the modern manufacturing process. In 1997, there was a change in ownership, and Maruti became predominantly government controlled. Shortly thereafter, conflict between the United Front Government and Suzuki started. In 2000, a major industrial relations issue began and employees of Maruti went on an indefinite strike, demanding among other things, major revisions to their wages, incentives and pensions. Employees used slowdown in October 2000, to press a revision to their incentive - linked pay. In parallel, after elections and a new central government led by NDA alliance, India pursued a disinvestment policy. Along with many other government owned companies, the new administration proposed to sell part of its stake in Maruti Suzuki in a public offering. The worker 's union opposed this sell - off plan on the grounds that the company will lose a major business advantage of being subsidised by the Government, and the union has better protection while the company remains in control of the government. The standoff between the union and the management continued through 2001. The management refused union demands citing increased competition and lower margins. The central government privatized Maruti in 2002 and Suzuki became the majority owner of Maruti Udyog Limited. Manesar violence On 18 July 2012, Maruti 's Manesar plant was hit by violence. According to Maruti management. The production workers at one of its auto factories attacked supervisors and started a fire that killed a company General Manager of Human Resources Avineesh Dev and injured 100 other managers, including two Japanese expatriates. The workers also allegedly injured nine policemen. However Maruti Suzuki Workers Union ( MSWU ) President Sam Meher alleged that management ordered 300 hired security guards to attack the workforce during the violence. The incident is the worst - ever for Suzuki since the company began operations in India in 1983. Since April 2012, the Manesar union had demanded a three-fold increase in basic salary, a monthly conveyance allowance of ₹ 10,000, a laundry allowance of ₹ 3,000, a gift with every new car launch, and a house for every worker who wants one or cheaper home loans for those who want to build their own houses. According to the Maruti Suzuki Workers Union a supervisor had abused and made discriminatory comments to a low - caste worker, Jiya Lal,. These claims were denied by the company and the police. Maruti said the unrest began, not over wage discussions, but after the workers ' union demanded the reinstatement of Jiya Lal who had been suspended for allegedly beating a supervisor. The workers claim harsh working conditions and extensive hiring of low - paid contract workers which are paid about $126 a month, about half the minimum wage of permanent employees. On 27 June, 2013, an international delegation from the International Commission for Labor Rights ( ICLR ) released a report alleging serious violations of the industrial right of workers by the Maruti Suzuki management. Company executives denied harsh conditions and claim they hired entry - level workers on contracts and made them permanent as they gained experience. Maruti employees currently earn allowances in addition to their base wage. The police, in its First Information Report ( FIR ), claimed on 21 July that Manesar violence is the result of a planned violence by a section of workers and union leaders and arrested 91 people. Maruti Suzuki in its statement on the unrest, announced that all work at the Manesar plant has been suspended indefinitely. The shut down of Manesar plant is leading to a loss of about Rs 75 crore per day. On 21 July 2012, citing safety concerns, the company announced a lockout under The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 pending results of an inquiry the company has requested of the Haryana government into the causes of the disorder. Under the provisions of The Industrial Disputes Act for wages, the report claimed, employees are expected to be paid for the duration of the lockout. On 26 July 2012, Maruti announced employees would not be paid for the period of lock - out in accordance with Indian labour laws. The company further announced that it will stop using contract workers by March 2013. The report claimed the salary difference between contract workers and permanent workers has been much smaller than initial media reports -- the contract worker at Maruti received about ₹ 11,500 per month, while a permanent worker received about ₹ 12,500 a month at start, which increased in three years to ₹ 21,000 - 22,000 per month. In a separate report, a contractor who was providing contract employees to Maruti claimed the company gave its contract employees the best wage, allowances and benefits package in the region. Shinzo Nakanishi, managing director and chief executive of Maruti Suzuki India, said this kind of violence has never happened in Suzuki Motor Corp 's entire global operations spread across Hungary, Indonesia, Spain, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, China and the Philippines. Mr. Nakanishi apologised to affected workers on behalf of the company, and in press interview requested the central and Haryana state governments to help stop further violence by legislating decisive rules to restore corporate confidence amid emergence of this new ' militant workforce ' in Indian factories. He announced, `` we are going to de-recognise Maruti Suzuki Workers ' Union and dismiss all workers named in connection with the incident. We will not compromise at all in such instances of barbaric, unprovoked violence. '' He also announced Maruti plans to continue manufacturing in Manesar, that Gujarat was an expansion opportunity and not an alternative to Manesar. The company dismissed 500 workers accused of causing the violence and re-opened the plant on 21 August, saying it would produce 150 vehicles on the first day, less than 10 % of its capacity. Analysts said that the shutdown was costing the company 1 billion rupees ( $18 million ) a day and costing the company market share. In July 2013, the workers went on hunger strike to protest the continuing jailing of their colleagues and launched an online campaign to support their demands. A total of 148 workers were charged with the murder of Human Resources Manager Avineesh Dev. The court dismissed charges against 117 of the workers. On 17 March 2017, 31 workers were found guilty of variety of offences. 18 were convicted on charges of rioting, trespassing, causing hurt and other related offences under Indian Penal Code sections. The remaining 13 workers were sentenced to life in imprisonment after being found guilty of the murder of General Manager of Human Resources Avineesh Dev. Twelve of the thirteen sentenced were office - bearers of the Maruti Suzuki Workers Union at the time of the alleged offences. The prosecution had sought the death penalty for the thirteen. Both prosecution and defence have announced they will appeal the sentences. Defence counsel Vrinda Grover stated, `` We will file appeals against all convictions in the HC. The evidence, as it stands, can not withstand legal scrutiny. There is no evidence to link these workers to the murder. The 13 who have been convicted, it 's important to remember that they were the leaders of the union. Therefore, it is clear that this is targeted framing of these persons. We hope for justice in the superior court. '' The Maruti Suzuki Workers Union is continuing to organise industrial action and protests calling for the workers to be released and criticising the judgement and sentences an unjust. An international appeal for the release of the workers has been made by the International Committee for the Fourth International ( ICFI ) and other organisations such as the Peoples Alliance for Democracy and Secularism.

These products are sold through dealer outlets and authorized service stations throughout India.

At the launch ceremony for the school Jagdish Khattar stated `` We are very concerned about mounting deaths on Indian roads. These can be brought down if government, industry and the voluntary sector work together in an integrated manner.
