Suzuki built a third plant in India
- The Suzuki group is the tenth global automaker in 2015, with a volume of 2.8 million vehicles (not including the two-wheelers), thus placing it just behind the PSA group (2.97 million units) and before the BMW group (2.25 million units) and Daimler group (1.99 million units).
- Since 2009, the largest producer of Suzuki models is not Japan, but India.
Similarly, the main market for Suzuki is not Japan but Suzuki India which is the leader both in terms of production and in terms of sales. The manufacturer thus benefits fully from the growth of the Indian market (it grew 95% between 2005 and 2015 while the Japanese market fell by 15% over the same period).

- Currently, Suzuki has two very large factories in India, one in Gurgaon and the other in Manesar. Each has a production capacity of 750,000 vehicles per year, i.e. 1.5 million in total, while the production of the manufacturer on these two sites reached for the first time 1.4 million units in 2015. In order to achieve its goal of selling 2 million vehicles in India in 2022, Suzuki has decided to build a third plant in India which will be operational in 2017. The plant, being built in the state of Gujarat (northwest India), will initially have a production capacity of 250,000 vehicles per year. The capacity will be doubled in the medium term.
