Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) would have faced a capacity bottleneck had a rail infrastructure not been put up at its Hansalpur plant in Gujarat, said Rahul Bharti, executive officer (corporate affairs).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated by video-conferencing on Monday India’s first in-plant automobile railway siding at the Hansalpur plant. The siding will allow MSIL to transport 300,000 cars annually via railways. The project cost Rs 1,081 crore.
“Honestly, even if we do not save anything due to this project, we would still be very happy as it gives us scalability. It is a very safe, efficient, and clean way of transporting cars.
