New Delhi (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - India's largest carmaker
Maruti Suzuki (BSE:532500) will produce over a million cars this fiscal
year, enabling the company to cross the milestone for the first time, its
parent Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) said on Friday.
"Maruti Suzuki now
forecasts production of 10,27,000 units for the fiscal year from April 2009
to March 2010, meaning that its production will exceed one million units on
both a calendar-year basis and a fiscal-year basis for the first time,"

growth in the Indian car market, MSI will invest Rs 17 billion (US$364

to 550,000 units from the current 300,000 units, the statement said.
