Maruti Suzuki India Ltd is boosting its green logistics infrastructure by aiming to send 35% of its automotive vehicles and products by railway by FY 2030-31, which is an increase from 24% in the previous fiscal year, and aligns with its sustainability strategy as well as an efficiency strategy.
On Tuesday, the automaker launched its second in-plant railway siding at its Manesar facility, which is also the largest GatiShakti multi-modal cargo terminal in the country. “Once it becomes fully operational, we will be able to dispatch 4.5 lakh vehicles annually, increasing the share of railway dispatches to 35 per cent by FY 2030-31,” said Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki.

The Manesar terminal is located on the 126-km Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (HORC), in which Maruti Suzuki has invested Rs 325 crore, and another Rs 127 crore in internal yard development. The terminal has a 46-acre site with a fully electrified 8.2 km corridor with four rake tracks from the terminal that connects to 17 dispatch hubs to over 380 cities. It will facilitate deliveries within India and exports through ports like Mundra and Pipavav.
This is in addition to a similar in-plant siding at the Gujarat plant, which was opened in 2024, further enhancing Maruti Suzuki's sustainability and leadership in green logistics.
