Maruti Suzuki India Limited informed stock exchanges that the ongoing matter with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has been adjourned to November 2, 2026. The hearing, originally scheduled for September 28, 2026, was listed for arguments to be advanced on behalf of the CCI.

The company stated that the matter was not concluded on the scheduled date and requires further time for arguments to continue. This development follows a previous disclosure made on July 30, 2026, which had noted an earlier adjournment and rescheduling of the hearing.

Regulatory Disclosure Details

The intimation was filed under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company secretary, Sanjeev Grover, signed the digital communication addressed to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited.

The company did not provide additional details regarding the specific nature of the arguments or the potential financial impact of the regulatory proceedings in this filing.

Maruti Suzuki India Limited filed a disclosure with stock exchanges on September 25, 2026, regarding the Technology Strategy Briefing 2026 announced by its parent, Suzuki Motor Corporation. The briefing outlines a multi-pathway approach to mobility, emphasizing regional optimization and a significant expansion of manufacturing capacity in India.

Production capacity expansion in India

Suzuki Motor Corporation identified India as a critical global production hub. The company detailed its roadmap to increase annual production capacity in the country from current levels to 4 million units starting fiscal year 2030 onward. This target builds upon the existing infrastructure of four major plants: Gurgaon (launched 1983), Manesar (2007), Hansalpur (2017), and the newly commissioned Kharkhoda plant (2025).

Multi-pathway technology strategy

The briefing highlighted a "multi-pathway" strategy tailored to regional energy mixes and infrastructure. For markets like India, where Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) infrastructure is well-established, Suzuki emphasized the role of CNG and Compressed Biogas (CBG). Data presented showed that Maruti Suzuki’s CNG vehicle sales in India grew from 158,000 units in FY21 to 740,000 units in FY26, with the share of CNG vehicles in total sales rising from 12% to 40% over the same period.

Biogas and circular economy initiatives

Suzuki announced the operationalization of three biogas plants in India in cooperation with the National Dairy Development Board. These plants produce CBG from cow dung, which integrates with existing CNG infrastructure and engines. The company also introduced "CARBON CAPTURE CARRY," a mobile CO2 capture system for mini trucks, aiming to capture approximately 50% of emitted CO2 over 20 km of driving for use in agricultural greenhouses.

Efficiency and development targets

To support this growth, Suzuki set aggressive internal efficiency targets compared to FY20 baselines:

• Development Period: Halve the new model development period.
• Development Efficiency: Improve by 30%.
• Production Efficiency: Improve by 50% compared to the Manesar plant standards.

The company also introduced the "e SKY" electric vehicle concept, targeting a single-charge range of 310 km and a weight of 1,030 kg, achieved through incremental optimizations rather than single breakthrough technologies.

What the numbers show

The divergence between volume growth and margin pressure is implicit in the strategy. While production capacity targets nearly double to 4 million units, the company acknowledges rising material and energy costs have increased average vehicle prices by 50% and weights by 10% over five years. The focus on "lean-battery" EVs and mono-fuel CNG systems suggests a strategy to maintain affordability in price-sensitive markets like India despite these input cost inflations.
