Maruti Suzuki's E-Vitara EV Production Faces Delays
Maruti Suzuki, an Indian car company, is having trouble getting enough special metals to make its new electric car, the E-Vitara.
This is slowing down how many cars they can build.
They had to cut back on how many they'll make in the first half of next year, but they plan to make a lot more in the second half to catch up.
Some experts say this shortage of special metals is a big problem for all car companies.
However, one of the company's leaders downplayed any major problems related to these shortages.
Despite these issues, analysts are still optimistic about Maruti Suzuki's future.
Maruti Suzuki's E-Vitara EV production faces delays due to rare earth metal supply challenges.
The company reduced its April-September 2025 production target to 8,200 units, significantly lower than initially planned.
Maruti Suzuki aims to compensate in H2FY26 by producing 58,728 units.
The brokerage Emkay remains bullish on Maruti Suzuki's broader outlook despite production delays.
Experts suggest that both ICE and EV passenger vehicles are at high risk from rare earth metal shortages.
