In a bid to help the government towards its net zero emissions target by 2070, Maruti Suzuki India on Monday said it surpassed 2 million cumulative vehicle dispatches using Railways as part of its \u2018green logistics\u2019 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company has rapidly scaled up its vehicle dispatches through Railways from 65,700 units in FY 2014-15 to 447,750 units in FY 2023-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The feat makes Maruti Suzuki India\u2019s first automobile company to attain this eco-milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, the company dispatches vehicles to 20 destinations, serving over 450 cities using Indian Railways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough our sustained efforts in green logistics, we have achieved outstanding results including cumulative reduction of 10,000 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions and 270 million litres of cumulative fuel savings,\u201d said Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the automaker\u2019s production capacity nearly doubling from about 2 million units to 4 million units by FY2030-31, \u201cwe plan to augment the use of Railways in vehicle dispatches, close to 35 per cent over the next 7-8 years,\u201d Takeuchi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this year, under the \u2018PM Gati Shakti\u2019 programme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India\u2019s first automobile in-plant railway siding at Maruti Suzuki\u2019s Gujarat facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This facility has a capacity to dispatch 300,000 vehicles per annum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next in-plant railway siding is in progress at the Manesar facility and will be operational soon, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe stand committed to the government of India\u2019s net zero emissions target by 2070,\u201d Takeuchi added. AGENCIES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
