Maruti Suzuki to Add 500,000 Units of Capacity Next Fiscal to Ease Delivery Delays

Peak utilisation leaves a roughly 200,000-vehicle backlog with dealer stock at about 12 days.

Overview

Two new assembly lines are scheduled: Kharkhoda in Q1 FY27 and Hansalpur in Q2 FY27, each adding about 250,000 units a year.
Output from the new lines will ramp up gradually after commissioning, with an eventual lift of roughly 20,000 vehicles per month.
Installed capacity stands near 2.6 million units annually, yet plants are running full, keeping supply tight despite strong bookings.
Passenger-vehicle dispatches were about 161,000 last month, as monthly production holds near 220,000–230,000 units with 170,000–180,000 for India and roughly 50,000 for exports.
Inventory totals around 12 days, including about seven days in transit, prompting active production scheduling to shorten waits and retain customers.
