Maruti Suzuki has begun production of eVitara in India. The electric sports utility vehicle (e-SUV) is being built at the Suzuki’s new electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in Hansalpur, Gujarat, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday in the presence of key dignitaries, including Suzuki Motor Corporation Chairman and President Toshihiro Suzuki.
After making its global debut at EICMA in Milan, Italy, last November, the eVitara had made its debut in India earlier in January this year at Auto Expo 2025. The first batch of eVitara is set to be shipped to foreign markets from Pipavav port.
The eVitara is expected to be exported to over 100 nations, making it the first made-in-India EV to be exported to foreign market. Suzuki has confirmed that the new facility in Hansalpur will serve as the new manufacturing base for the Indo-Japanese carmaker, catering to both domestic sales as well as exports.
The eVitara will be available in three variants, namely, Delta, Zeta, and Alpha. The e-SUV will be offered with two battery pack choices – 61.1 kwh and 48.8 kwh. Both are paired with a single electric motor and are claimed to deliver a range of up to 500 km on a full charge.
