Maruti To Set Up Auto Park

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd will set up a 100-acre auto component park for its suppliers at Manesar. The facility is expected to attract big names from Japan.

Industry sources said the Foreign Investment Promotion Board would soon take up the proposal of a Rs 182.16-crore joint venture between Futuba Industrial Company Limited and Maruti Suzuki.

Maruti will hold a 49 per cent stake in the joint venture. This will be Futuba’s first project outside Japan.

Sources said Japan-based Bellsonica Corporation would also set up base at the component park.

Last year, the company signed an agreement with Maruti for car body components, including high-tensile steel parts. Maruti Suzuki will hold a 30 per cent stake in the joint venture — Bellsonica Auto Component Private Limited — with the rest being held by Bellsonica.
