Maruti Suzuki India Ltd has launched the country’s largest in-plant automobile railway siding at its Manesar facility in Haryana. This strategic investment of ₹452 crore is part of the company’s green logistics initiative to transition 35% of its vehicle dispatches to rail by FY2030-31. Spread over 46 acres and featuring 8.2 km of rail tracks, the Manesar siding can dispatch up to 4.5 lakh vehicles annually. The facility is expected to cut 1.75 lakh tonnes of CO₂ emissions and save 60 million litres of fuel each year, supporting India's broader goals under the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan and the Net Zero Emissions target for 2070.
