Maruti Suzuki India on Tuesday said the shortage of semiconducters would force it to drastically cut production in September to as low as 40 per cent of normal across its plants in Haryana and Gujarat .

The company’s production capacity at Gurgaon and Manesar plants in Haryana is around 15 lakh units per annum.

Besides, Suzuki Motor Gujarat, a 100 per cent subsidiary of Japan’s Suzuki Motor Corporation, has an additional installed production capacity of 7.5 lakh units per annum.
