Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. said it would suspend production of petrol cars at its Gurgaon plant on Saturday, as the country's top car maker plans to cut inventory in the midst of declining sales, reports said, quoting a company executive.
The executive did not say whether Maruti, controlled by Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp, will extend the production cut beyond Saturday at the Gurgaon factory.
In February, Maruti's sales declined by eight percent from a year earlier, with the industry bracing for its first decline in annual sales in a decade, as sluggish economic growth continues to weigh on demand.
