Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) announced that Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), its consolidated subsidiary, has resolved to merge with Suzuki Motor Gujarat Private Limited (SMG), an MSIL sub-subsidiary, following a decision at the Board of Directors meeting. The amalgamation aims to streamline operations, optimize resource allocation, and enhance decision-making efficiency within the Suzuki Group’s Indian automotive business.
The amalgamation will proceed as an absorption-type merger, with MSIL as the surviving entity and SMG ceasing to exist post-merger. MSIL will continue its role as India’s largest car manufacturer and distributor, retaining its name, business, capital structure, and headquarters in New Delhi. Completion of the merger is scheduled for September 30, 2025, following approval from MSIL’s shareholders in April 2025.
The merger consolidates the production and sales operations of the two companies, where SMG’s Gujarat-based production facility had been supplying vehicles to MSIL for further marketing through its established dealer network. By merging, MSIL aims to reduce administrative costs and enhance operational efficiency across its Indian operations.
SMC indicated that the impact of this internal consolidation on overall financial performance will be minimal, as both entities are fully consolidated subsidiaries within the group.
