Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the country’s largest automobile manufacturer, expanded its solar energy capacity by 30 megawatt peak (MWp) across its manufacturing facilities in Haryana, causing its shares to rise by nearly 1% during trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
The company commissioned a 20MWp solar project at its upcoming facility in Kharkhoda, Haryana, and added another 10MWp at its existing Manesar plant. This expansion increases Maruti Suzuki’s total solar capacity from 49MWp to 79MWp in just one year.

The automaker is focused on scaling its production to four million units while ensuring that environmental responsibility remains central to its growth. Through continuous adoption of eco-friendly manufacturing methods and large-scale renewable energy integration, Maruti Suzuki reinforces its role as a sustainable leader in India’s automotive sector.
