Maruti Suzuki Plans Rs 45 bn Capex in 2022

Maruti Suzuki, in its latest quarterly update said that the company plans to raise the capital expenditure for the financial year 2022 by 67% to Rs 45 bn as it prepares to defend its enviable market share amid increasing competition.

The automaker had lined up a capex of Rs 27 bn for the financial year 2021 which was its lowest since 2016 and nearly 17% lower than the Rs 32.5 bn capex of 2020.

Note that India's number three carmaker, Tata Motors has lined up Rs 30-35 bn in capital expenditure for the financial year 2022 for its India business following a sustained multi-quarter rise in sales.

Maruti Suzuki's domestic passenger vehicle market share in the June 2021 quarter stood at 45.3% as per data shared by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers. By the end of the financial year 2021, the company had a better share of 47.7%.

Maruti Suzuki officials also acknowledged the continued pressure on margins due to increase in raw material prices but refused to explicitly mention if the company was looking at passing on the hike to consumers.

Since January 2021, Maruti Suzuki has undertaken three increases in prices to offset the impact of the rising commodity prices. Its competitors including Tata Motors, Renault and Mahindra & Mahindra have also undertaken price hikes in recent months.

How this pans out remains to be seen. Meanwhile, stay tuned for more updates from this space.
