The development of public charging infrastructure will play a vital role in faster adoption of electric vehicles as driving range anxiety has emerged as a deterrent to customers to accept an EV as a primary car in a household, according to a senior Maruti Suzuki India executive. The sales of electric passenger vehicles in the domestic market have almost doubled, but the overall base still remains small. "Total contribution of EVs is 4.5 per cent (overall PV sales), it has grown from 2.4 per cent to 4.5 per cent. Absolutely, if you see numberwise, growth is 100 per cent. But is it sustainable?" Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Officer (Marketing & Sales) Partho Banerjee said in an interaction. Maruti Suzuki is set to introduce its first electric model - e-VITARA this fiscal. Banerjee stated that the segment is not witnessing adequate growth as customers do not perceive EVs as the primary car in a household. "He (customer) has got many inhibitions that EV cannot be my first car.

Maruti Suzuki India on Tuesday reported a 6 per cent year-on-year decline in total sales to 1,67,993 units in June. The country's largest carmaker had sold a total of 1,79,228 units in June 2024. Its total domestic passenger vehicle dispatches to dealers stood at 1,18,906 units last month compared to 1,37,160 units in the year-ago period, a dip of 13 per cent, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) said in a statement. "The slowdown in passenger vehicle sales is largely due to a sharp decline in the smaller segment cars. Historically, passenger vehicle sales used to grow at 1.5 times the GDP growth. But now, even after 6.5 per cent GDP growth, the car market is nearly flat," MSI Senior Executive Officer Rahul Bharti said. This is because the once mass small car segment is not participating in the growth at all, he added. "This is clearly an affordability issue," Bharti said. Since 2019, the entry-level price point in the industry has jumped by over 70 per cent, largely driven by stricter ...

Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India Ltd expects vehicle dispatches through railways to increase to 35 per cent by 2030-31, its Managing Director and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said on Tuesday. The company, which inaugurated its second automobile in-plant railway siding at its Manesar facility, has increased vehicle dispatches through railways, from just around 5 per cent in FY 2014-15 to 24 per cent last year, he said while addressing the event here. The automobile in-plant railway siding at Manesar plant is India's largest GatiShakti multi-modal cargo terminal. "Maruti Suzuki pioneered the use of railways for vehicle dispatches over a decade ago by becoming the first company to obtain the automobile-freight-train-operator license in India, and since then, we have dispatched over twenty-five lakh passenger vehicles using railways," Takeuchi said. In March 2024, the automaker became the first automobile company to establish an in-plant railway siding in its Gujarat manufacturing plant.
