New Delhi, India – 17 February 2026 – Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the Indian subsidiary of global automotive leader Suzuki, has officially commenced sales of the e VITARA, Suzuki’s first battery electric vehicle (BEV), in India. The launch marks a significant milestone in Maruti Suzuki’s electrification strategy and reinforces its commitment to providing sustainable mobility solutions.
Dubbed the “Emotional Versatile Cruiser,” the e VITARA embodies a design philosophy that balances advanced technology with robust presence. The vehicle features a BEV powertrain engineered for a nimble, sharp, and responsive driving experience, built on the newly developed “HEARTECT-e” platform designed specifically for electric vehicles.
To support e VITARA owners, Maruti Suzuki has implemented its comprehensive BEV initiative, “e for me.” This strategy offers customers peace of mind with a combination of accessible charging infrastructure and dedicated digital support. Over 2,000 exclusive Maruti Suzuki charging points have already been installed across more than 1,100 Indian cities. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand this network to over 100,000 charging points nationwide by 2030 through collaborations with dealers and Charge Point Operator partners.
Complementing the charging network, the “e for me” app allows users to locate charging stations and monitor their vehicle’s charging status in real time. Maruti Suzuki’s 1,500 BEV-ready service workshops, supported by mobile service vehicles, ensure that maintenance and repairs are convenient and reliable, providing customers with confidence no matter where they are in India.
The e VITARA, Suzuki’s first global strategic BEV, is produced at Maruti Suzuki’s Hansalpur plant in Gujarat. Already on sale in Europe and Japan, the model is set for export to more than 100 countries and regions worldwide. With the launch of the e VITARA, Maruti Suzuki takes a significant step forward in its vision of a cleaner, electrified future, combining performance, versatility, and peace of mind for its customers.
