Maruti Suzuki India Limited is the Indian subsidiary of Japanese automaker Suzuki Motor Corporation. It was established by the Government of India as Maruti Udyog Limited in February 1981 as a joint venture with Suzuki. Maruti opened its first production facility in Gurugram, Haryana, in 1982. Initially, Maruti was majority owned by the Indian government, with Suzuki only taking a 26% stake during its establishment in 1982. The Indian government gradually reduced its stake, partially departed the business in 2003 and then sold all of its remaining shares to Suzuki Motor Corporation in 2007.
