Maruti Suzuki Urges Employees to Opt for Remote Work and Limit International Travel Amid Global Uncertainties

Maruti Suzuki India Responds to Prime Minister's Call for Austerity

Maruti Suzuki India, the country's leading car manufacturer, has taken steps to mitigate the long-term impact of the West Asia war and adhere to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for austerity. In a post on social media platform X, the company emphasized the importance of the Prime Minister's clarion call for austerity and the need to minimize the use of petroleum products and foreign currency expenditure.

Efforts to Improve Efficiency The company believes that whether it is during a crisis or business as usual, management should conduct business in the most productive and efficient manner. This is a timely opportunity for Maruti Suzuki India to revisit and re-examine all its processes and make efforts to improve efficiency across all its business operations. The company's management has given a message to all employees to institutionalize several steps as part of the drive.

Implementation of Work from Home and Travel Restrictions As part of the drive, Maruti Suzuki India has implemented work from home (WFH) wherever operationally feasible to reduce commute-related fuel consumption. This is aligned with the company's remote working policy. The company has also issued a directive to avoid foreign travel unless critical for business requirements. Employees are encouraged to choose virtual meetings as the preferred mode for engagements, while minimizing domestic travel.

Maruti Suzuki India has widely communicated these efforts to both internal employees and business partners through its post on X.
