Maruti Suzuki Rail Dispatches Cross 30 Lakh With Trains Carrying 26.5% of Vehicles

The milestone signals a faster pivot to lower‑carbon distribution built on dedicated rail infrastructure.

Overview

  • Maruti Suzuki said cumulative rail dispatches have crossed 30 lakh, with trains now moving 26.5% of its vehicles after the quickest one‑million jump in 21 months.
  • The company has committed about Rs 1,372 crore to green logistics, funding in‑plant rail sidings, specialised auto rakes, rail yards and related upgrades.
  • It is the only passenger vehicle maker in India with in‑plant sidings at two factories, Hansalpur and Manesar, which can ship about 7.5 lakh vehicles a year.
  • A hub‑and‑spoke rail network now reaches roughly 600 cities through 22 logistics hubs, linking plants to domestic markets and to export ports such as Mundra and Pipavav.
  • The plan targets a 35% rail share by FY2030‑31 with a new siding at the upcoming Kharkhoda plant, while Hansalpur’s project earned Verra registration in February 2026 under a verified carbon standard.
