Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in a special event at the Suzuki Motor Plant in Hansalpur, Gujarat. During this, he started production by flagging the first Maruti Suzuki E-Vitara electric car made in India. This is a major step for India, as this electric car will not only be built in its country but will also export to 100 countries of the world. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Japan Ambassador Keichi Ono were also present at the event.
Export of first e-vitara
The first unit of Maruti Suzuki’s e-Vitara will be sent to Britain (UK). The car was launched in Europe last year and the India Mobility Show in India was displayed in 2025. The car has been prepared on 40Pl EV platforms created in association with Toyota. Toyota will also make its electric car Urban Cruiser EV on this platform.
