Maruti Suzuki in 2022: Defending Market Leadership
內容大綱
In December 2022, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (Maruti Suzuki), the undisputed leader in the Indian car market, was evaluating the various alternatives for its continued growth and sustained performance. In 2015, building on the company's success selling no-frills cars, Maruti Suzuki launched its New Exclusive Automotive Experience (NEXA) line to attract customers who were seeking advanced car models. However, the emergence of electric vehicles posed a key challenge for Maruti Suzuki specifically because it lacked capabilities in this arena.
