NCLT Approves Merger of Suzuki Motor Gujarat with Maruti Suzuki

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has approved the long-awaited merger of Suzuki Motor Gujarat with its parent company, Maruti Suzuki India, marking a major consolidation move in the country’s auto sector.

The Delhi-based Principal Bench of NCLT, comprising President Ramlingam Sudhakar and Member Ravindra Chaturvedi, sanctioned the merger under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013, with the appointed date set as April 1, 2025.

The tribunal stated the merger serves the interests of both companies, their shareholders, creditors, and employees, confirming there were no objections from any relevant authorities. The Income Tax Department, along with its Northern and Northwestern regions, and the Official Liquidator, Ahmedabad, submitted “no further objections” to the proposed scheme.

Additionally, RBI, SEBI, BSE, and NSE neither appeared nor raised any concerns within the 30-day window that ended on July 31, 2025.

The NCLT order emphasized that once the scheme becomes effective, Suzuki Motor Gujarat will be dissolved without going through the winding-up process after submitting a certified copy of the order to the Registrar of Companies. The transferor company must also surrender its GSTN and PAN to the respective authorities.

In their joint petition, both companies said the merger would drive operational efficiency, streamline business structure, and strengthen synergies within Maruti Suzuki India. The move aims to simplify group architecture, reduce overlaps, and enable faster decision-making to support the company’s long-term growth in India’s competitive automobile industry.
