It then set up its manufacturing plant in Gurugram, Haryana, with an annual capacity of 7,50,000 units per annum. In 2006, the Japanese marque made a comeback as Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt ltd.
However, the bikemakers parted ways in 2001, and Suzuki was under a 30-month moratorium, during which it could not enter the Indian market with any products competing TVS’ models. The alliance got us some interesting products like the Suzuki Supra, Suzuki Samurai, Suzuki Shogun and the Suzuki Shaolin. In 1982, Suzuki inked a deal with TVS to develop two-wheelers specific to the Indian market. Six years later, Suzuki introduced the famous ‘S’ logo that we know today and in 1954, the company changed its name to Suzuki Motor Co Ltd. Eventually, after the end of the second World War, Suzuki began building motorcycles, with its first product being the ‘Power Free’ in 1952, which used a 36cc 2-stroke engine mounted onto a bicycle frame. Before venturing into the world of automobiles, the Japanese brand started out as a loom weaving company.
