Car market leader, Maruti Suzuki India, has started
manufacturing the new Dzire, at Gurgaon plant besides rolling it out
from the troubled Manesar facility. It aims to clear pending orders of
over 65,000 units of the popular new compact sedan and looks forward to
increase overall production by 10% in this fiscal. At present it has
over 65,000 pending orders for the new Dzire and the waiting period is
about 4-5 months.
Prior to this, the company was
rolling out the old version of the sedan from the Gurgaon plant, while
the Manesar plant was producing the new Dzire. But now Gurgaon plant has
also started manufacturing the new Dzire after the lockout at the
Manesar plant was lifted. The new Dzire is one of the best selling
models of the company.
Country’s largest car
maker also expects to arrive at full capacity levels at its troubled
Manesar plant by October. It aims to complete hiring of new workers and
conversion of some existing contract workers to permanent positions by
September-end, by when a second shift will also be started at the plant.
