car for middle class India. Over the years, its product range has widened, ownership has changed
hands and the customer has evolved. What remains unchanged, then and now, is their mission to
motorise India.MSILs parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation, has been a global leader in
mini and compact cars for three decades. Suzuki's technical superiority lies in its ability to pack
power and performance into a compact, lightweight engine that is clean and fuel efficient. The

conditions. Product quality, safety and cost consciousness are embedded into their manufacturing
process, which they have inherited from their parent company.

uniform and common canteen for everyone from the Managing Director to the workman, daily
morning exercise, and quality circle teams.

available in India. Its only competitors were the Hindustan Ambassador and Premier Padmini.
Originally, 74% of the company was owned by the Indian government, and 26% by Suzuki of
Japan.[13] As of May 2007, the government of India sold its complete share to Indian financial
institutions and no longer has any stake in Maruti Udyog.[14] maruti is started to make in india

Chronology

Under the Maruti name

In 1970, a private limited company named Surya Ram Maruti technical services private limited (MTSPL)
was launched on November 16, 1970.[relevant? discuss] The stated purpose of this company was to provide
technical know-how for the design, manufacture and assembly of "a wholly indigenous motor car". In
June 1971, a company called Maruti limited was incorporated under the Companies Act. Maruti Limited
went into liquidation in 1977. Maruti Udyog Ltd was incorporated through the efforts of Dr V.
Krishnamurthy.[15]

Affiliation with Suzuki

In 1982, a license & Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) was signed between Maruti Udyog Ltd.
and Suzuki of Japan. At first, Maruti Suzuki was mainly an importer of cars. In India's closed market,
Maruti received the right to import 40,000 fully built-up Suzukis in the first two years, and even after
that the early goal was to use only 33% indigenous parts. This upset the local manufacturers
considerably. There were also some concerns that the Indian market was too small to absorb the
comparatively large production planned by Maruti Suzuki, with the government even considering
adjusting the petrol tax and lowering the excise duty in order to boost sales.[16] Finally, in 1983,
the Maruti 800 was released. This 796 cc hatchback was based on the SS80 Suzuki Alto and was
Indias first affordable car. Initial product plan was 40% saloons, and 60% Maruti Van.[16] Local
production commenced in December 1983.[12] In 1984, the Maruti Van with the same three-cylinder
engine as the 800 was released and the installed capacity of the plant in Gurgaonreached 40,000 units.

In 1985, the Suzuki SJ410-based Gypsy, a 970 cc 4WD off-road vehicle, was launched. In 1986, the
original 800 was replaced by an all-new model of the 796 cc hatchback Suzuki Alto and the 100,000th
vehicle was produced by the company.[15][dead link] In 1987, the company started exporting to the West,
when a lot of 500 cars were sent to Hungary. By 1988, the capacity of the Gurgaon plant was increased
to 100,000 units per annum.

Market liberalisation

In 1989, the Maruti 1000 was introduced and the 970 cc, three-box was Indias first
contemporary sedan. By 1991, 65 percent of the components, for all vehicles produced, were
indigenized. After liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991, Suzuki increased its stake in Maruti to
50 percent, making the company a 50-50 JV with the Government of India the other stake holder.

In 1993, the Zen, a 993 cc, hatchback was launched and in 1994 the 1298 cc Esteem was introduced.
Maruti produced its 1 millionth vehicle since the commencement of production in 1994. Maruti's second
plant was opened with annual capacity reaching 200,000 units. Maruti launched a 24-hour emergency
on-road vehicle service. In 1998, the new Maruti 800 was released, the first change in design since
1986. Zen D, a 1527 cc diesel hatchback and Maruti's first diesel vehicle and a redesigned Omni were
introduced. The 1.6 litre Maruti Baleno three-box saloon and Wagon R were also launched.

In 2000, Maruti became the first car company in India to launch a Call Center for internal and customer
services. The new Alto model was released. In 2001, Maruti True Value, selling and buying used cars
was launched. In October of the same year the Maruti Versa was launched. In 2002, Esteem Diesel
was introduced. Two new subsidiaries were also started: Maruti Insurance Distributor Services and
Maruti Insurance Brokers Limited. Suzuki Motor Corporation increased its stake in Maruti to 54.2
percent.

In 2003, the new Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 was introduced while the Zen and the Wagon R were
upgraded and redesigned. The four millionth Maruti vehicle was built and they entered into a
partnership with the State Bank of India. Maruti Udyog Ltd was Listed on BSE and NSE after a public
issue, which was oversubscribed tenfold. In 2004, the Altobecame India's best selling car overtaking
the Maruti 800 after nearly two decades. The five-seater Versa 5-seater, a new variant, was created
while the Esteem was re-launched. Maruti Udyog closed the financial year 2003-04 with an annual sale
of 472,122 units, the highest ever since the company began operations and the fiftieth lakh (5 millionth)
car rolled out in April 2005. The 1.3 L Suzuki Swift five-door hatchback was introduced in 2005.[17]

In 2006 Suzuki and Maruti set up another joint venture, "Maruti Suzuki Automobiles India", to build two
new manufacturing plants, one for vehicles and one for engines.[17]Cleaner cars were also introduced,
with several new models meeting the new "Bharat Stage III" standards.[17] In February 2012, Maruti
Suzuki sold its ten millionth vehicle in India.[12] For the Month of July 2014, it had a Market share of
>45 %.[18]

Joint venture related issues

Relationship between the Government of India, under the United Front (India) coalition and Suzuki
Motor Corporation over the joint venture was a point of heated debate in the Indian media until
Suzuki Motor Corporation gained the controlling stake. This highly profitable joint venture that had a
near monopolistic trade in the Indian automobile marketand the nature of the partnership built up till
then was the underlying reason for most issues. The success of the joint venture led Suzuki to increase
its equity from 26% to 40% in 1987, and to 50% in 1992, and further to 56.21% as of 2013.[19] In 1982,
both the venture partners entered into an agreement to nominate their candidate for the post of
Managing Director and every Managing Director would have a tenure of five years

Manufacturing facilities

Maruti Suzuki has two manufacturing facilities in India. Both manufacturing facilities have a combined
production capacity of 14,50,000 vehicles annually. The Gurgaon manufacturing facility has three fully
integrated manufacturing plants and is spread over 300 acres (1.2 km2).The Gurgaon facilities also
manufacture 240,000 K-Seriesengines annually. The Gurgaon Facilities manufactures
the 800, Alto, WagonR, Estilo, Omni, Gypsy, Ertiga, Ritz and Eeco.

The Manesar manufacturing plant was inaugurated in February 2007 and is spread over 600 acres
(2.4 km2).[23] Initially it had a production capacity of 100,000 vehicles annually but this was increased to
300,000 vehicles annually in October 2008. The production capacity was further increased by 250,000
vehicles taking total production capacity to 800,000 vehicles annually.[24] The Manesar Plant produces
the A-star, Swift, Swift DZire, SX4, Vitara Brezza ,Ritz , Baleno and Celerio. On 25 June 2012,
Haryana State Industries and Infrastructure Development Corporation demanded Maruti Suzuki to pay
an additional Rs 235 crore for enhanced land acquisition for its Haryana plant expansion. The agency
reminded Maruti that failure to pay the amount would lead to further proceedings and vacating the
enhanced land acquisition.[25] It plans to set up a plant in Gujarat and has acquired 600 acres of land.[26]

In 2012, the company decided to merge Suzuki Powertrain India Limited (SPIL) with itself.[27] SPIL was
started as a JV by Suzuki Motor Corp. along with Maruti Suzuki. It has the facilities available for
manufacturing diesel engines and transmissions. The demand for transmissions for all Maruti Suzuki cars
is met by the production from SPIL.

Industrial relations

Since its founding in 1983, Maruti Udyog Limited has experienced problems with its labor force.
The Indian labour it hired readily accepted Japanese work culture and the modern manufacturing
process. In 1997, there was a change in ownership, and Maruti became predominantly government
controlled. Shortly thereafter, conflict between the United Front Government and Suzuki started. In
2000, a major industrial relations issue began and employees of Maruti went on an indefinite strike,
demanding among other things, major revisions to their wages, incentives and pensions.[28][29]

Employees used slowdown in October 2000, to press a revision to their incentive-linked pay. In parallel,
after elections and a new central government led by NDA alliance, India pursued a disinvestment
policy. Along with many other government owned companies, the new administration proposed to sell
part of its stake in Maruti Suzuki in a public offering. The worker's union opposed this sell-off plan on the
grounds that the company will lose a major business advantage of being subsidised by the Government,
and the union has better protection while the company remains in control of the government.[28][30]
The standoff between the union and the management continued through 2001. The management
refused union demands citing increased competition and lower margins. The central government
privatized Maruti in 2002 and Suzuki became the majority owner of Maruti Udyog Limited.[31][32]

Manesar Violence

On 18 July 2012, Maruti's Manesar plant was hit by violence as workers at one of its auto factories
attacked supervisors and started a fire that killed a company official and injured 100 managers, including
two Japanese expatriates. The violent mob also injured nine policemen.[33][34] The company's General
Manager of Human Resources had both arms and legs broken by his attackers, unable to leave the
building that was set ablaze, and was charred to death. The incident is the worst-ever for Suzuki since
the company began operations in India in 1983.[35]

Since April 2012, the Manesar union had demanded a three-fold increase in basic salary, a monthly
conveyance allowance of 10,000, a laundry allowance of 3,000, a gift with every new car launch, and
a house for every worker who wants one or cheaper home loans for those who want to build their own
houses.[36][37] According to the Maruti Suzuki Workers Union a supervisor had abused and made
discriminatory comments to a low-caste worker.[38] These claims were denied by the company and the
police.[34]Maruti said the unrest began, not over wage discussions, but after the workers' union
demanded the reinstatement of a worker who had been suspended for beating a supervisor.[35] The
workers claim harsh working conditions and extensive hiring of low-paid contract workers which are
paid about $126 a month, about half the minimum wage of permanent employees.[38] Maruti
employees currently earn allowances in addition to their base wage.[39] Company executives denied
harsh conditions and claim they hired entry-level workers on contracts and made them permanent as
they gained experience. It was also claimed that bouncers were deployed by the company.[36]

The police, in its First Information Report (FIR), claimed on 21 July that Manesar violence is the result
of a planned violence by a section of workers and union leaders and arrested 91 people. Maruti Suzuki
in its statement on the unrest,] announced that all work at the Manesar plant has been suspended
indefinitely.[35] The shut down of Manesar plant is leading to a loss of about Rs 75 crore[43] per day. On
21 July 2012, citing safety concerns, the company announced a lockout under The Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947 pending results of an inquiry the company has requested of the Haryana government into
the causes of the disorder. Under the provisions of The Industrial Disputes Act for wages, the report
claimed, employees are expected to be paid for the duration of the lockout. On 26 July 2012, Maruti
announced employees would not be paid for the period of lock-out in accordance with Indian labour
laws. The company further announced that it will stop using contract workers by March 2013. The
report claimed the salary difference between contract workers and permanent workers has been much
smaller than initial media reports - the contract worker at Maruti received about 11,500 per month,
while a permanent worker received about 12,500 a month at start, which increased in three years
to 21,000-22,000 per month. In a separate report, a contractor who was providing contract employees
to Maruti claimed the company gave its contract employees the best wage, allowances and benefits
package in the region.

Shinzo Nakanishi, managing director and chief executive of Maruti Suzuki India, said this kind of violence
has never happened in Suzuki Motor Corp's entire global operations spread across Hungary, Indonesia,
Spain, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, China and the Philippines. Mr. Nakanishi went to each victim
apologising for the miseries inflicted on them by fellow workers, and in press interview requested the
central and Haryana state governments to help stop such ghastly violence by legislating decisive rules to
restore corporate confidence amid emergence of this new 'militant workforce' in Indian factories. He
announced, "we are going to de-recognise Maruti Suzuki Workers Union and dismiss all workers named
in connection with the incident. We will not compromise at all in such instances of barbaric, unprovoked
violence." He also announced Maruti plans to continue manufacturing in Manesar, that Gujarat was an
expansion opportunity and not an alternative to Manesar.

The company dismissed 500 workers accused of causing the violence and re-opened the plant on 21
August, saying it would produce 150 vehicles on the first day, less than 10% of its capacity. Analysts said
that the shutdown was costing the company 1 billion rupees ($18 million) a day and costing the
company market share.[49] In July 2013, the workers went on hunger strike to protest the continuing
jailing of their colleagues and launched an online campaign to support their demands
