MUL FACING STIFF COMPETITION IN THE COUNTRY


RAJYA SABHA

Maruti Udyog Limited is facing competition from other car manufacturers. However, it has been maintaining majority market share. According to MUL, it has the largest dealer network in the country among all players in the industry.

The Government of India is a minority stakeholder in the company. However, the expansion of sales network by MUL is a continuous process. It is based on changing demand potential in various markets across the country.

This information was given in the Rajya Sabha today by Shri Balasaheb Vikhe Patil, Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in a written reply to a question by Shri Surendra Lath.
