Maruti Vitara Brezza And Baleno Waiting Period To Go Down; Here's How
The waiting period for the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Baleno will go down in the Indian market.
India's leading passenger vehicle manufacturer Maruti Suzuki is all set to start the second shift at its Gujarat manufacturing facility which commenced operations in February 2017.
Due to the addition of another shift, the waiting periods for the Vitara Brezza and Baleno is expected to go down.
Currently, both the Vitara Brezza and the Baleno has a waiting period of nearly 20 weeks in the Indian market. The Gujarat plant produces around 10,000 Baleno's per month. The addition of the new shift will also reduce the production pressure at the Gurgaon and Manesar plants.

Senior Executive Director of Maruti Suzuki India, RS Kalsi said, "From October onwards, a second shift is being added at the Gujarat plant. This will ease pressure at our Gurgaon and Manesar plants, especially for the Baleno and Brezza."
He added, "We are having continuous robust demand for the Brezza and even if we have increased output, the orders are coming in and that's why this model still has a high waiting period." With additional units of Baleno coming from Gujarat plant, the automaker can adjust the production of other models.
