Suzuki reportedly wants Indian suppliers to run 20-hour days, six days a week, by September 2027

Reuters reports in The Economic Times that Suzuki wants Indian suppliers to move to 20-hour days, six days a week, by September 2027. The schedule would leave four hours of nightly downtime and a full day for maintenance. The report says Maruti Suzuki has asked suppliers to sign declarations by the end of 2026 that production lines making its components will not run seven days a week, as it prepares to increase annual car production to 4 million by 2030 from about 2.4 million.
