Most respected Prime Minister, respected Chief Minister of Gujarat, respected Chief Minister of Haryana, His Excellency, the Ambassador of Japan, all the distinguished dignitaries on the dais and valued guests and members of the media. It is my honor and privilege to welcome, on behalf of Maruti Suzuki and Suzuki Japan, the leader of the largest democracy in the world to this event to celebrate 40 years of Suzuki in India and the creation of Maruti as a joint venture. We find it hard, sir, to express our great happiness at your presence with us today. Mr Prime Minister, I believe your presence signifies the great importance that you attach to strong economic ties with Japan. A few words about our learnings over these 40 years that helped to make India the fourth largest car manufacturer in the world. The partnership has shown that the combination of Japanese and Indian strengths results in world class competitiveness. The trust that Osamu Suzuki-san placed on us has been a major factor for success. We learned that strong teamwork between employees and management is possible and creates a win-win situation for both. 98% of our workers pay income tax and a large percentage own houses and cars. We understand the critical role of a robust and competitive supply chain. We have learned how to make continuous improvements in quality and the importance of always focusing on the customer. The introduction of low-cost and reliable transport led to giving women a much greater degree of independence, participating in the job market, and promoting economic activities. The automobile sector is one of the leading employment creators. India has become a large exporter of cars, with Maruti Suzuki alone selling about a quarter million units. Today, sir, you are laying the foundation stone of what is the potential of becoming the largest car production facility at one site. A foundation has been established by Suzuki Japan in India. Initially, we intend to engage in activities to promote more competitive manufacturing in India. Maruti Suzuki is fully committed to the government's program to reduce carbon emissions. Electric vehicles will be manufactured from 2025 in Gujarat. We will continue to promote larger use of all other fuels and technologies to reduce carbon and consumption of oil. Sir, we have always been fortunate to receive your guidance and advice and hope to continue to do so as we play our role in creating the India of your vision. Jai Hind. Thank you, Mr. Bhargav. May I now request respected Mr. T. Suzuki, President of the Suzuki Motor Corporation, to kindly address us. Excellency Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, your Excellency Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr. Bhupendra Patel, your Excellency Chief Minister of Haryana, Mr. Manohar Rao, your Excellency Ambassador of Japan to India, Mr. Satoshi Suzuki, and all distinguished guests. Good evening and Namaskar. Before I begin, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to your Excellency, Mr. Modi, for accepting our invitation to attend this gathering, subsequent to our meetings in New Delhi in March and in Tokyo in May. I'm much honored to see your Excellency again here in Gujarat today. Dear guests, we entered into joint venture agreement in October 1982. As this year marks 40 years of our partnership with the people of India, we decided to hold this commemorative ceremony to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Modi and all the people of India over the past 40 years. Mr. Suzuki has been the prominent leader in the Indian auto business sector. Mr. Suzuki is recognized as the most successful joint project between India and Japan. At the same time, India has become one of the most important countries for Suzuki Group. In the last physical, Suzuki Group produced at 28 lakh automobiles all over the world. Out of those, more than 16 lakh units or about 60% were produced in India. Also, exports from India reached the highest ever record of about 2.4 lakh units last year. Today, India plays a significant role as a global automobile production hub in Suzuki Group. In particular, after Mr. Modi has taken office of Prime Minister, we have inaugurated a new automobile manufacturing plant, Suzuki Motor Gujarat, which is in full operation of 7.5 lakh unit production capacity per annum. Just last week, accumulated production of this plant exceeded 20 lakh units. We have also started commercial production and export of lithium-ion battery cells in Gujarat. We are now preparing the production of EVs and EV batteries in Gujarat with a total investment of over 10,000 crore rupees. Later in today's session, we have a foundation stone laying by your excellency of this new EV battery plant. Together with a new automobile manufacturing plant in Calcoda, Haryana. Today, I would like to make an announcement on a new initiative to take our Indian operation to a further height. We are pleased to announce that we have established a new company, Suzuki R&D Center India. This new company is wholly owned by Suzuki Japan. We aim to strengthen our R&D competitiveness and capabilities in new fields of technologies, not only for India, but also for global markets. Furthermore, we will strengthen our ties with Indian Academic Institute and startup to develop diverse human resources. Thanks to the support of your excellency Prime Minister, Mr. Modi, and stable visionary policy of the Government of India, Suzuki Group will continue to make investments in India aggressively, with confidence to contribute to make in India. Thank you for your kind attention. Thank you, respected Mr. T. Suzuki. Suzuki has always touched the hearts of Indians. I am proud to say that Haryana is also very proud of its development.

I am sure that Haryana is already on the path of nature and Haryana will be on the path of nature The Prime Minister and many other projects that have been given to Haryana, I would like to highlight from a certain perspective Like Western Taddy, Kated, Freight Corridor, this is a project that is going to further advance Haryana's artistic development In Sonipat, Railcoach Factory, KMP, KGP, Expressways and Metrolinks You have also given four Metrolinks, Rottak Elevated Railway Track, Rottak-Mahem-Hasi Railway Line, Ames-Jhajjar, Rastiak-Enser Centre and Haryana Orbital Railway Corridor There are so many projects that Haryana will be able to strengthen our artistic development If I talk about Maruti, 40 years ago, when in 1982, Haryana had the first plant in Gurugram At that time, Haryana was a new country, it was only 15 years old Not only that, it was a plant of Maruti In fact, from the beginning of our nature, from that plant of Maruti There are so many fruits and fruits around Gurugram In that, Haryana is a hub of automobile Along with that, in all the Haryanas in Vinirumand, there were 80% of excavators in Haryana The number of cranes in the country, the 25% of that is in Haryana The number of works is also 50% in Haryana The 60% of the motorcycle is in Haryana And the progress of Maruti Suzuki is a very good sign for Haryana If the first plant in Gurugram was made, then the second plant in Maneshwar Because of that, today, if Gurugram is a city of the country and the world If it is made as an icon city, then Maruti has its own contribution And the project of the third plant in Maneshwar I can say that the center of Sonipat and Khakhoda will also progress in this way There are about 11,000 people who are going to get this job There are 10,000,000 people who are going to join in this new age Maruti, Japan, from Maneshwar, has its own contribution By the way, in Haryana, many countries are investing in the world They are coming here because of our policies But Japan has a very big contribution If I tell you about the journey of Japan alone in Haryana In today's country, about 4.5% of the cranes are working in Japan In which 28% of the cranes in Japan are in Haryana In Japan, their belief in Nishidroop is similar to that of Kahwat Kahwat is A journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step So this is a proverb in Japan At times, Japan and Haryana have this relationship It is moving ahead And in Nishidroop, the journey of Haryana and the development of the society of Japan It will move ahead This is my belief People of the world, the world needs cooperation Not the competition We are always here for mutual cooperation and coordination There are many models of business in the world Like B2B, G2B, B2G But we work from a different perspective We believe in H2H That means, heart to heart working system Kouro to kouro Kouro to kouro no kin mehi That means, we work from heart to heart And work from Nishidroop to Japan With our heart We will move ahead And I would like to give a belief to the Prime Minister For example, we have said in India that We have to reach the economy of 5 trillion dollars We have to reach it very soon We are moving ahead And not far away When the idea of India-Atmanipur The idea of making India The idea of digital India Will be fulfilled In Haryana, from 2019 till today If I talk about the investment There has been an investment of 40,000 crores We have prepared the investment of the business We have improved in the logistic direction With ease of doing And the cost of doing business We have made these investments We have made the investments of the investors We are working towards the distribution of the profit In the lead 2020 index Haryana is in another place After the land log stake We have reached the first place In the first place We have made the investment in the investment We have made the investment in the second place In this way In the development of Haryana Our investment will be fulfilled And in this way I believe that The Prime Minister of the country The way he is helping us We will continue to do this And I repeat When I read about the Salat I read about the Salat That in Kharkhoda He has set up 30 plants And the Prime Minister I believe that Because Haryana is his own So you keep doing the management of Haryana In this way The development will continue We will continue to work in the development of the country Thank you very much Thank you very much Thank you very much Thank you very much Thank you very much Thank you very much Thank you very much Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Today, on this occasion, I would like to present to you the President, Mr. Narendra B.

Daniel Ward Thank you, sir, for your heart-touching words. The relationship between India and Japan is very strong. On the occasion of Maruti Suzuki's visit to India, we have brought two special guests with us. First is Hansalpur Gujarat, which will be launched by 2026, 7300 crores. Suzuki Motor Gujarat Electric Vehicle Battery Plant. And the second guest is Maruti Suzuki Vehicle Manufacturing Facility in Kharkhoda, Haryana. On this side of 801 crores, every year, there are 10 lakh passengers who can make vehicles. And this will be one of the largest automobile manufacturing facilities in the world. Now, let's request the Prime Minister, Mr. Vinam Raghur, to inaugurate the construction of the Hansalpur Suzuki Motor Gujarat Electric Vehicle Battery Plant. Thank you. Now, I request you to inaugurate the construction of Maruti Suzuki Vehicle Manufacturing Facility in Kharkhoda, Haryana. Thank you, Prime Minister. This is how Maruti Suzuki has become a well-known name in the family. From Ease of Doing Business to Protsahan to Lagipank, from Make in India to Atman-Irbar Bharat, a new sky was opened. From Kaushal Vikas, we have also explored some properties. Maruti Suzuki is a partner in the construction of the Gujarat Electric Vehicle Battery Plant and in the bright future. Let's watch this journey of 40 years. I am very fortunate to see that the birth of India is an extraordinary birth. A new path, a new path, a new thought, and with a new tradition, it is a good opportunity to take a step forward. With the help of the Prime Minister's far-sighted thought and the support of the 130 million Indians, Suzuki and his efforts are linked to Japan. This is the story of a 40-year-old partner in the birth of Suzuki Japan and India. In 1982, when this partnership took place, the chances of his failure were limited. But the birth of India proved him wrong and the most successful joint venture was established in Kharkhoda. The company Maruti Suzuki, became the most important company in India and it gave value to its shareholders, business partners, and employees, and also to the government for tax. Today, with great pride, India's automobile industry is in the form of the fourth largest foreign company in the world. And with the help of 6% of the country's GDP, lakhs of people are working day-to-day. Maruti Suzuki has also established a huge ecosystem of component makers in which 56.5 billion U.S. dollars are being invested today and 19 billion U.S. dollars are being invested. Through a new inclusive work culture, management and workers have worked as employees and under a frugal management style, the partnership has been successful in many ways, without spending money. Maruti Suzuki started his venture with Haryana, but when the Prime Minister was the Chief Minister, then he chose Gujarat as the next industrial centre. 7.5 lakhs of cars per year were manufactured and with the help of 16,000 crores, Suzuki Japan established the manufacturing plant and today the Gujarat ports have become a hub for more than 100 countries. More than 23,000 crores have been invested in Gujarat and with this, 47,000 people are working day-to-day. Maruti Suzuki is also a member of the youth school and Zaidas Hospital. In this area, she is working to provide high education and health services. Maruti Suzuki is a member of the youth school and Zaidas Hospital. Maruti Suzuki is a member of the youth school and Zaidas Hospital. Maruti Suzuki is a member of the youth school and Zaidas Hospital. It successfully partnered with Enclusive Management in the Indian laboratory tech in Tamil Nadu. It promote the sector with working and Entremity management. Then he was fostered by So today, the Indian model of New India is giving the world the love of Vishwa. Vishwa is getting excited about how, if there is a good nature and 130 crore people believe in that nature, then a lot of great thoughts are created. In your context, Prime Minister, New India is connected to Japan with a special bond and a special respect. For the 21st century, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is our guest. Let us all give him a round of applause. The world's most beloved Prime Minister, Mr. Bupendra Bhai Patel, Mr. Manohar Lal, Mr. Bho Mukhi Mantri, Mr. Dushan Chautala, Mr. Mansriar Patil, Prime Minister of Sujuki Motor Corporation, Ambassador of Japan in India, Prime Minister of Marutu Sujuki, All other great people, ladies and gentlemen, First of all, I am connected to Sujuki and Sujuki's family. I give a big hand to all the people. With the people of India and India, Sujuki's family relationship is now 40 years old. Today, in Gujarat, for the production of electric vehicle batteries, the ambitious plant is growing, and in Haryana, a new car manufacturing facility is also starting. I believe that this plant will be the basis for the future of Sujuki. For this reason, I give a big hand to Sujuki Motors, to all the members of this special family. In particular, I give a big hand to Sriman Osamu Sujuki and Sriman Tosir Hiori Sujuki. I give a big hand to both of them. Whenever you meet me, I present the new vision of Sujuki in India. This year, I was introduced to Mr. Osamu Sujuki and he invited me to work for 40 years. For me, being a witness to such a futuristic initiative is a happy experience. Along with that, Sujuki's success is also a strong partnership between India and Japan. In the last eight years, we have reached new heights between the two countries. Today, in Gujarat, from the bullet train to the Uttar Pradesh, how much development is needed? India is the example of Japan friendship. And when it comes to this friendship, every Indian, our friend, former Prime Minister, Mr. Shring and Mr. Abe, remember this. When Abe came to Gujarat, the time he spent here, the people of Gujarat remember him very well. In order to bring our countries closer, the efforts he made, today PM Kishida is moving forward. We have just heard Prime Minister Kishida's video message. For this, Prime Minister Kishida and all the citizens of Japan are congratulating India. Friends, I also congratulate Gujarat and Haryana on the development of the country and the making India of the country. Both of these countries have developed and developed policies. In the direction of each of doing business, they are getting millions of people and especially young people. Friends, in this special occasion, I remember a lot of things today. It's wonderful. I remember when 13 years ago, when Sujoo's company came to Gujarat for its manufacturing unit, I told them that as soon as our friends drink Gujarat's water, they will come to know where the perfect model of development is. I am happy that Gujarat promised Sujoo to keep his word and Sujoo kept Gujarat's word with the same respect. Today, Gujarat is not only in the country, but all over the world. It is building the top automotive manufacturing hub. Friends, today's occasion is when the number of discussions between Gujarat and Japan will be so small, that the relationship between Gujarat and Japan is much higher than the diplomatic circles. I remember when in 2009 the vibrant Gujarat-Sameez was launched, that is when Japan has always been connected as a partner country. And this is a big thing. A country and a developed country both of them are very important. Even today, in the vibrant Gujarat-Sameez, Japan's participation is the highest. In the days of our prime minister, I used to say that I want to create a mini-Japan in Gujarat. The feeling behind this was that even in Gujarat we have the experience of Japan. They have a feeling. We tried to make Japan's companies to have no problem here. You may have guessed that we used to pay attention to so many small things. We must have heard a lot of things and got affected. Now we all know that things remain incomplete. Without golf you can't even imagine Japanese. Now our Gujarat there was no place for golf. So if I want to bring Japan here, then I should start a golf course and I am happy that in Gujarat there are many golf fields where our Japanese work is done. They are forced to spend weekends. There are many restaurants where they have Japanese cuisine and Japanese food. They are worried about that. There is no problem with Japanese people. For this many Gujarat people have learned Japanese language. And these days Japanese language classes are going on. Friends our efforts have always been very serious and there has always been love for Japan. Today the result of this is that more than 100 companies are working in Gujarat. From automobile to biofuel Japanese companies are working here. Through JETRO Amalabad Business Support Centre there are many companies in this. There is a facility to provide plug-and-play work place. Today in Gujarat manufacturing every year many companies are training Gujarat's technical universities and IIT too. In Amdabad Jain Garden and Kaizen Academy as well as the Hugo International Association Gujarat can never be forgotten. Now the same eco-friendly garden is being tried to mix with the strategy of unity. With Kaizen 18-19 years ago what Gujarat had done with so much seriousness Gujarat has gained a lot of fame. Gujarat is at the height of development in that and Kaizen is also a great country. When I went to Delhi as the Prime Minister Kaizen's experiences and other parts of the central government have made it. Now Kaizen's profit is gaining more in the country. In the government we have also made Gujarat and Japan a memorable journey. Many friends of Japan and many of my old friends are present here. Once again I will also announce you all. Friends today in India the market of electric vehicles is growing in India. A few years ago there was no idea of it. The speciality of electric vehicles is that they are silent. Whether it is two or four they don't make any noise. This silence is not just its engineering but in this country a silent revolution has also begun. Today the EV doesn't understand an extra vehicle. They have started to consider it as a speciality. The country has been preparing for this change for the last eight years. Today in the electric vehicle ecosystem the demand is working fast. The government is giving a lot of incentives to the buyers of electric vehicles so that the demand comes faster. With the help of income tax people have taken many steps like auto-mobile and auto-components to increase supply through the PLI scheme. The government has taken many steps to increase the entire ecosystem of the electric vehicle. Through the PLI scheme battery manufacturing is also increasing. In order to love the electric vehicle charging infrastructure the country has taken many policies. In the budget of 2022 the battery swapping policy has been presented on new policies like technology sharing. With the help of the EV sector the demand is increasing. That means in the coming days we are ready to make a big change. Friends when we talk about EV we need to keep our country's economy ahead. India has announced in COP26 that by 2030 we will achieve 50% of the installed electrical capacity by non-fossil source. We have the EV charging infrastructure and grid scale battery system like the energy storage system of the infrastructure is ready to be used in the harmonized list. We also need to increase the development of biogas, such as maruti, sujuki, biofuel, ethanol blending, hybrid EV as well as all other ideas. I suggest that with this sujuki we can start other companies of India working in this direction. I would like to have a healthy competition with a better environment for Mitchell learning. Both the country and business will be there. In the next 25 years India will be self-sufficient for its energy needs. We know that today a large part of the energy system is connected with transport. So in this direction innovation and efforts should be our practice. With your and all the partners of the auto sector India will definitely achieve this goal. We will reach the same goal which shows our efforts on this basis. Thank you very much. I wish the sujuki family a very happy life. I would like to assure them that whatever you dream of in the future we will not stay behind in this direction. Thank you Prime Minister. The development of Gujarat and the development of India is a blessing. Gujarat's Prime Minister Thank you Prime Minister. You are all welcome. Stay at your place for some time. Thank you very much Prime Minister. Thank you very much. Thank you very much all of our partners of the Japan and all of our esteemed guests. Thank you very much. A wonderful sight of the friendship of two countries. A very special gift from Prime Minister. Thank you very much. Thank you. Respected Mr. O. Susuki and all dignitaries on the desk. Thank you Prime Minister for taking the pride of the country and giving us 20 years of success. You all should be at their place Prime Minister. Go straight from the Danini Nagar where Prime Minister Susuki became President and has been
