Maruti sees impact to production next month due to semiconductor shortage

Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on Saturday said it expects an adverse impact on production at its two plants in Haryana and parent Suzuki’s Gujarat plant in November on account of supply constraint of electronic components due to semiconductor shortage.

Terming the situation as quite dynamic, the country’s largest carmaker noted in a regulatory filing that as per current estimates the total vehicle production volume across both locations in Haryana next month could be around 85 per cent of normal roll-out.

“Owing to a supply constraint of electronic components due to the semiconductor shortage situation, the company is expecting an adverse impact on vehicle production in the month of November’21 in both Haryana and its contract manufacturing company, Suzuki Motor Gujarat Pvt Ltd (SMG),” MSI said in a regulatory filing.
