NEW DELHI: The country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki
India today said it will hire at least 2,300 people, mainly for its
upcoming two new plants in Manesar, within next two years. With
induction of these people, the company's workforce will expand by about 27 per
cent to nearly 11,000 employees.
"At this moment, we are hiring a
minimum of 1,500 people in this fiscal. These people will be taken on board for
different verticals like manufacturing, marketing, supply chain and R&D,"
Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Managing Executive Officer (Administration) S Y
Siddiqui told PTI.
MSI had announced to invest over Rs 3,625 crore to
set up the two new plants with 2.5 lakh annual capacities each at the Manesar
facility. The company is aiming to open the second unit in Manesar by
September-October this year, while the third one is scheduled to be operational
in 2012-13.
When asked about the plan for the third plant in the
facility, Siddiqui said: "Apart from the planned recruitment for this fiscal, we
will hire about 750 people alone for the third plant coming up in Manesar...
This will be in 2012-13."
He said the company will hire more people over
and above the planned recruitment for the third unit in next fiscal, but the
outlay has not been finalised yet.
Besides fresh investment at Manesar,
the company is investing Rs 2,500 crore for its K-series engine plant and
setting up a dedicated R&D facility at Rohtak.
