Maruti Suzuki has commenced exports of its premium SUV Grand Vitara with the aim to reach over 60 countries across Latin America, Africa, Middle East, ASEAN and neighboring regions, the company said in a press release on January 19.
Maruti Suzuki's initiative aligns with the government of India’s ‘Make in India’ efforts, the passenger vehicle company said in the statement.
“Supporting government of India’s efforts to increase exports from India, Maruti Suzuki has taken multiple initiatives to increase its international presence," said Hisashi Takeuchi, managing director and chief at Maruti Suzuki India Limited.
"By adding Grand Vitara, we now export a range of 17 vehicles. Grand Vitara, unveiled in July 2022, has received overwhelming response in the domestic market and we are confident that the India manufactured Grand Vitara will meet with similar success in overseas markets as well," he added.
