Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara Likely To Launch In December

On 26th August 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially flagged off the first unit of the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara as it rolled off the production line. This event also marked the inauguration of Maruti Suzuki's first facility dedicated to manufacturing hybrid battery electrodes. The most recent development regarding the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara indicates that the SUV is steadily approaching its anticipated launch timeline, which is expected to take place in December.

Also, Maruti Suzuki commenced the exports of Suzuki's first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), the e-Vitara, in August. Over 2,900 units of the e-Vitara were shipped from Pipavav Port in Gujarat to 12 European countries - the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Iceland, Austria, and Belgium.

The e-Vitara is exclusively manufactured at Maruti Suzuki's Gujarat manufacturing facility. The start of exports marked a key milestone in Suzuki's roadmap to establish India as the global production hub for e-Vitara.
