The e Vitara is manufactured at Maruti Suzuki's Hansalpur plant in Gujarat. The facility produces the electric SUV for both Indian and international markets. The plant's annual production capacity has recently increased to 10 lakh vehicles. This makes it the first Suzuki factory in the world to reach this level of production capacity at a single location.
Maruti Suzuki has invested Rs. 25,288.7 crore in the Hansalpur facility. The plant also accounted for nearly half of the company's total exports in FY2025-26, highlighting its importance to the business. The increase in production capacity could help the company meet demand from more overseas markets in the coming years.
Between April and September 2026, Maruti Suzuki accounted for nearly 93% of India's electric passenger vehicle exports. The company also finished FY2025-26 as the country's leading exporter of passenger electric vehicles.
These figures show how much India's EV exports currently depend on the e Vitara. The electric SUV has helped Maruti Suzuki build a strong position in international markets, even though its overseas shipments began only in August 2025.
The company also accounted for more than 50% of India's total passenger vehicle exports during the first half of FY2026-27. It has remained India's largest passenger vehicle exporter for five consecutive years.
Maruti Suzuki's export business goes beyond electric vehicles. The company currently exports 16 models to nearly 120 countries, giving it a strong presence in international markets. The e Vitara has added a new electric option to this lineup. With more production capacity at the Hansalpur plant and exports reaching nearly 50 countries, the company is looking to strengthen India's role in its global EV business. The e Vitara's performance in overseas markets will be important for Maruti Suzuki as it expands its electric vehicle plans and works to reach more international customers.
