Hyderabad, April 11 Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India will launch four more electric vehicles by 2031, a senior executive of the company said here on Saturday.
Maruti Suzuki marked a milestone in its electric vehicle journey by delivering 108 units of its e-VITARA to customers in a single day at a handover ceremony held here, underscoring the growing customer trust in the country's largest carmaker as it accelerates its transition toward cleaner mobility, Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing and Sales, MSIL, said.
“We have announced in our midterm plan that by 2031, we are going to have four more electric vehicles in our portfolio and, of course, we will have to cater to various sectors. So, everything is in place,” he told reporters.
He further said that by 2031, MSIL aims to become the number one player in the BEV segment, and that the carmaker will operate according to market demands.
Responding to a query, he said that irrespective of the West Asia crisis, the company needs to increase prices due to the rise in commodity prices.
“However, the exact amount of the increase will be announced soon.”
Banerjee noted that during the previous fiscal, MSIL exported close to 4.50 lakh vehicles, and the impact of the West Asia conflict is yet to be assessed.

Over 25,000 units of e VITARA have already been exported to 44 countries (destined for over 100 countries), company sources said.

MSIL has already set up over 2,000 Maruti Suzuki exclusive charging points across the country.
Maruti Suzuki has a nationwide footprint of EV-ready service workshops supported by a 1.5 lakh-strong, specially trained workforce to ensure complete customer peace of mind.
