Monday marked a momentous occasion as both the Nifty 50 index and Maruti Suzuki India soared to remarkable heights, with the former inching closer to the coveted 22,700 mark and the latter becoming the first automaker to surpass the Rs 4,00,000 crore market capitalization milestone.
The stock of Maruti Suzuki India exhibited remarkable vigor, trading up by nearly 4% and reaching a zenith of Rs 12,927.65 per share on the NSE. Despite opening at Rs 12,450, the stock defied expectations by ascending steadily throughout the day, marking a fresh high.
In the realm of sustainability, Maruti Suzuki is making significant strides, boasting a robust portfolio of 14 CNG vehicles that contribute to lowering carbon emissions. With CNG vehicles comprising a record-breaking 30% of sales in the third quarter, the company is poised for further innovations, including exploring the potential of compressed biogas. Additionally, the imminent production of battery electric vehicles in 2024 underscores the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to efficiency extends beyond its products to its operations. By leveraging railways for vehicle dispatches, the company achieved a milestone in 2023, dispatching a record 422,000 vehicles via railways. With plans for a railway siding at the Manesar plant, the company aims to further optimize its logistical operations.
Buoyed by the success of its domestic operations, Maruti Suzuki is setting its sights on the global stage. With plans to expand its annual production capacity twofold by 2030-31, the company is poised for exponential growth. Furthermore, with aspirations of surpassing 3 lakh units in overseas shipments by FY25, Maruti Suzuki is laying the groundwork for a formidable presence in over 100 countries. Drawing from its Indian operations, the company aims to replicate best practices globally, ensuring seamless accessibility to financial services, robust service infrastructure, and spare parts availability in export markets.
