Maruti is not only preparing to expand on a large scale, but is also finalizing its preparations according to the electric car market. A new attempt has been started to entice government employees and teachers to buy a new car. To increase the availability of auto loans in rural areas, the company is also preparing to distribute loans through regional rural banks.

The share of the rural area is about 25 per cent of the total sales of Maruti Suzuki. There is a plan to distribute auto loans through regional rural banks to create new customers in rural areas. In recent times, due to a variety of reasons, the pace of loans being disbursed by non-banking financial companies has reduced considerably. About 80-85 per cent of cars in India are sold through auto loans. Maruti Suzuki believes that this problem can be solved to some extent through regional rural banks. According to Srivastava, 'In challenging times we are trying to try new things in every way. For example, customers have started the facility to see or drive a car at their home or at their office.

It is clear that despite the recession, preparations for launching new products have not been affected. The third manufacturing line of the company's new factory in Gujarat will also be operational early next year.
