Within 10 months of production of the KB-series engines, MSI had last month rolled-out over one lakh units of Maruti A-Star and Maruti Ritz. The engine facility with a production capacity of 2.4 lakh units per annum was a part of the Rs 9,000 crore investment plan announced earlier by Suzuki Motor Corporation recently.
