New Delhi: Suzuki Motor has asked suppliers in India to halt production for one day a week for machine maintenance, as the Japanese vehicle maker aims to prevent unscheduled stoppages and maintain quality ahead of ramping up output, two people said.
The company has issued such a directive to its Indian suppliers for the first time, the people said, and it comes as Indian unit Maruti Suzuki prepares to boost annual production to 4 million cars by 2030 from about 2.4 million.
