Second Shift At Gujarat Plant To Reduce Waiting Period For Maruti’s Baleno, Brezza
The waiting period for Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.'s top-selling models Baleno and Vitara Brezza is expected to reduce with the addition of a second shift at the Gujarat plant.
The Hansalpur-based facility in Gujarat is Suzuki Motor Corporation's first wholly-owned unit in India. It has been producing close to 10,000 units of premium hatchback Baleno a month.
The model currently has a waiting period of 18-19 weeks while that of compact SUV Brezza is nearly 20 weeks.
From October onwards, a second shift is being added at the Gujarat plant. This will ease pressure at our Gurgaon and Manesar plants, especially for Baleno and Brezza.RS Kalsi, Senior Executive Director - Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki
On a single shift, the plant has been rolling out 10,000 units. MSI is slated to receive 1.5 lakh units of Baleno from the Gujarat plant of Suzuki this fiscal.
He, however, said there will not be immediate doubling of output as the ramp-up will happen gradually.
Maruti Suzuki produces Baleno at its Manesar plant, besides getting it from Suzuki's Gujarat facility. On the other hand, Brezza is rolled out from its Gurgaon facility.
Maruti Suzuki has been gradually ramping up production of Baleno, said Kalsi said.
We started with around 8,000 units a month. Now, we are at around 12,000 units. The waiting period for the model has also been reduced to 18-19 weeks at present from around 24 weeksRS Kalsi, Senior Executive Director - Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki
On Brezza, he said the waiting period is at around 20 weeks.
