India's largest manufacturer and seller of four-wheelers, Maruti Suzuki has been struggling to keep pace with demand. Its Celerio is heavily booked and there is a waiting of almost six months. The Japanese manufacturer never had expected the automatic variant to receive such high demand.

To cope with rising demand and to ensure its customers do not leave them, Maruti Suzuki has decided to increase its production. They will be investing in a new facility situated in Gujarat. They plan to commence the building of their facility by 2014-end.
