Maruti Suzuki is planning to bring in the strong-hybrid technology across multiple models, including new cars for the Indian market. In addition to ICE and CNG, the carmaker is working on different technologies like EVs, flex-fuel, bio-gas, and hybrids. These will co-exist in the future, but the carmaker is expecting strong hybrids to also do well on the sales front. Maruti Suzuki Hybrid cars The carmaker has already achieved many milestones with the sales of hybrid vehicles, including both mild and strong hybrids. The mild-hybrid cars in the Maruti fleet include the Fronx, Ciaz, Brezza, Ertiga, XL6, and the Grand Vitara. On the other hand, the strong hybrids comprise higher-spec trims of the Grand Vitara and the Invicto. In our brief interaction with Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, he mentioned that strong hybrids will account for 25 per cent of overall sales by 2030. Now, this contribution will not be from the Grand Vitara and the Invicto only, but necessarily from more models. # techtuesday #ITMBusinessschool #ESMeducation #AS2024

🚗 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭-𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝟱-𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿: 𝗔 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Maruti Suzuki India Limited has flipped the script with the all-new Dzire, becoming the first Maruti car to achieve a  𝟱-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗣 safety rating for adult protection and 4 stars for child protection. This is a massive leap for a brand historically criticized for low safety scores. The Dzire's robust performance—31.24/34 points for adults and 39.20/42 for children—proves the power of rethinking the basics. It reminds me of data engineering. Just like Maruti revamped its "foundation" to deliver safer cars, we too, as engineers, need to revisit our data pipelines to optimize and strengthen them. Shifting from patchy, brittle processes (akin to a 1-star car) to resilient, efficient systems (a 5-star pipeline) is how we ensure safety, reliability, and performance. Maruti’s Dzire is a testament: 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀. #SafetyFirst #DataEngineering #ContinuousImprovement

The 35-year-old India of the 80’s was on a slow and steady path of growth. With an increased access to education and healthcare, the middle class of the then India had high aspirations and raised living standards, but a limited income! They had a dream of owning a 4 wheeler with conditions of Affordability, Mileage, Safety & Sturdiness, pre-attached! Two major players, HINDUSTAN MOTORS LTD and Premier Automobiles dominated the market but produced outdated and limited models of inferior quality catering to a small segment only! Then came a joint venture of Maruti Udyog Limited (a Gov. of India initiative) and Suzuki Motor Corporation (a Japanese company), bringing a significant change with the kind of cars they were producing. Some path-breaking features they offered were: 1. Small Cars: The Maruti 800, became an iconic model and addressed the needs of the majority of consumers. It also established the dominance of compact cars. 2. Technological Transfer: There was a transfer of advanced automotive technology from Suzuki to Maruti Udyog. Which improved the quality, features and made the car technologically advanced. 3. Localization and Cost Efficiency: By localizing the component production they made their car cost efficient and allowed them to price their vehicles competitively. 4. Economic Impact: By creating jobs, fostering ancillary industries, and boosting the automotive ecosystem it made a significant economic impact. Presently out of 18 big competitors in the present Indian automobile market, Maruti Suzuki India Limited holds more than 50% of the market share (the highest for any car in the world). Every 2nd car sold in India today is a Maruti! Maruti’s story is a classic example of what a successful collaboration between international expertise and local needs looks like!

RC Bhargava, the 81-year-old chairman of Maruti Suzuki India Limited , recently received the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honor. This recognition is a testament to his pivotal role in transforming India's automobile industry and enabling millions of middle-class Indians to own cars. Reflecting on the honor, Bhargava shared that it marked a profound moment of acknowledgment after decades of contributions and challenges. In his career, which spans over 35 years at Maruti, Bhargava has been a driving force behind the company's growth. Starting as a marketing director when Maruti Udyog was founded in collaboration with Suzuki Motor, he navigated its evolution from a government-led entity to one majority-owned by Suzuki. His leadership helped establish India as a significant player in the global automobile manufacturing arena. One of the defining elements of Maruti's success has been the close collaboration between Bhargava and Suzuki Motor’s Osamu Suzuki. Bhargava credits the company's achievements to the trust and involvement of Suzuki, who played a hands-on role in guiding Maruti's operations during its formative years. The partnership, rooted in mutual respect and shared vision, proved instrumental in shaping Maruti’s growth trajectory. Despite facing significant challenges, including three CBI cases over two decades, Bhargava remained steadfast. His commitment to navigating Maruti through difficult times reflects his resilience and focus. Alongside his professional journey, he co-authored "The Maruti Story" and continues to contribute to discussions on business practices, emphasizing the philosophy of continuous improvement, or Kaizen, a principle he admires from Japanese culture. Even as he looks back on his extensive career, Bhargava remains modest about his legacy, believing there is always room for improvement. His story is a reminder that perseverance, strategic thinking, and collaboration are key ingredients for long-term success. #RCBhargava #MarutiSuzuki #Leadership #AutomotiveIndustry #PadmaBhushan #IndiaAuto #Innovation #SuccessStories #MarutiLegacy #EconomicGrowth #BusinessVisionary #CorporateSuccess #AutomobileRevolution #IndiaGrowth #cxolanes
