Despite pushing its manufacturing facilities to the limits, Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, had to suffer a more than 2 per cent decline in sales in March due to a slack demand for its products. However, arch-rival Hyundai posted a 66 per cent growth in sales during the same period.
Maruti has undertaken a capacity expansion programme at its Manesar facility to tide over the production constraint.
