Maruti may launch Jimny in India
The company, which commenced exports of the Jimny to Colombia and Peru in January, however, is not exporting it to Europe due to changes in regulations in the continent.
New Delhi: The country’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) is evaluating the feasibility of launching its off-roader Jimny in the domestic market.
The company, which commenced exports of the Jimny to Colombia and Peru in January, however, is not exporting it to Europe due to changes in regulations in the continent.
“We are currently evaluating the feasibility of it being launched in the domestic market. We had shown this Jimny at the Auto Expo in February 2020 and got nice response,” MSI Executive Director (Marketing and Sales) Shashank Srivastava said in an investor call.
The three-door, four-wheel drive, all-terrain vehicle, Jimny is being exported as the company’s parent Suzuki Motor Corporation looks to make the country a global production hub for the model.
Indian manufacturing will supplement capacity to meet this global demand.
