«We have been growing (exports) at a rate of about 11.9 per cent in the first seven months of the financial year and we hope to continue on that momentum. So we hope to do more than about 3 lakh car exports within this financial year,» Maruti Suzuki India Executive Director Corporate Affairs Rahul Bharti told PTI here.
In contrast, just about four years ago, the company's exports were below one lakh per year, he added.
«So, now we'll be doing about three times of that, and by the turn of the decade, we hope to multiply it another three times over to something like 8 lakh units a year,» Bharti added.
Elaborating on the export strategy, Bharti said, «One of the biggest enablers of increasing export is more models in more geographies. So, we are adding the number of models, and we are adding the markets also.»
