- Suzuki Motor has told its Indian component suppliers to stop production for one day each week to allow machine maintenance and to move toward a 20‑hour‑per‑day, six‑day‑a‑week operating model by September 2027.
- The change comes as Maruti Suzuki plans to raise its annual output to four million cars by 2030, up from about 2.4 million, and to expand exports toward half a million units in 2026, while Indian parts makers have traditionally run factories continuously for seven days a week.
