Haryana has emerged as Suzuki Motor’s preferred destination for major investments, as revealed in a high-level meeting between Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and CEO Toshihiro Suzuki. The Thursday rendezvous in New Delhi reinforced the deepening ties between the state and the Japanese auto giant.
The Chief Minister praised Suzuki’s dedication to Haryana’s progress, noting their unique status as the only company receiving SGST incentives. Saini expressed full confidence in the firm’s continued investments.
Suzuki’s CEO was forthright: if the company decides to venture into electric vehicles or establish a new facility, Haryana will be the prime choice. He detailed the push towards hybrid and CNG technologies, alongside ambitious CBG initiatives, including nine planned plants—two already up and running.
The Kharakhojda facility will soon roll out strong hybrid vehicles, with the CEO calling for sustained government collaboration to ease manufacturing and market access. CM Saini pledged complete support.
Adding a cultural dimension, plans for an International Geeta Jayanti Mahotsav in Japan were unveiled to bolster Haryana-Japan relations. Suzuki received an invitation to headline the Gita Seminar at Tokyo University in June, and the CEO agreed to explore partnerships with Japanese organizations for greater participation.
Drawing parallels from Suzuki’s early days in India, the CEO highlighted shared values that have bridged cultural gaps, paving the way for enduring partnerships.
As India accelerates its green mobility agenda, this alliance positions Haryana at the forefront, blending industrial prowess with cultural diplomacy.
