Maruti Suzuki India gears up to launch its first EV with 500-km range in Jan
Maruti Suzuki India on Tuesday said the automaker is geared up to launch its first electric vehicle (EV) with a range of 500 km per charge in January next year.

The company is having multiple popular brands under its banner namely Swift, Baleno, Wagon R, Ertiga, Grand Vitara, Invicto, New Dzire that rule the Indian car market. The hike, which is set to vary depending on the model, will come into effect from Jan.1, 2025.
Also, on Wednesday, Maruti Suzuki India said it plans to increase its overall service network to 8,000 touchpoints by 2030-31, with an aim to reach closer to its customers. “Our aim is to consistently deliver convenience and superior car ownership experience to our customers. One way is by reaching closer to our customers so that they have assurance of finding a Maruti Suzuki service touchpoint nearby,” Maruti Suzuki India MD & CEO, Hisashi Takeuchi, said in a statement.
