Maruti’s cumulative exports cross 15 lakh units
Maruti Suzuki, country’s largest car maker, on Friday said it has crossed the milestone of cumulative exports of 15 lakh vehicles.
“These vehicles have been exported to over 100 countries including Europe, Latin America and Africa. Early this year, the Company’s premium hatchback Baleno, manufactured exclusively in India, became the first car to be exported from India to Japan,” the company said in a statement.
Maruti Suzuki had started to export vehicles in 1987-88, when a small number of cars were sent to Hungary.
In 2015-16, the top five exported models for the Company were Alto, Swift, Celerio, Baleno and Ciaz. Among destinations, Sri Lanka, Chile, Philippines, Peru and Bolivia emerged as the top markets for Maruti Suzuki export models.
