Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL), the two-wheeler subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, has celebrated the landmark of producing 8 million cumulative two-wheelers in India.

SMIPL achieved its first 4 million production milestone within 13 years. Building upon this success and growing at more than double the speed, SMIPL manufactured the next 4 million units in less than 6 years.
Notably, SMIPL achieved its 8 million production milestone in the 19th year of its operation with the last 1 million units added in just one year. The 8 millionth unit was an Avenis 125 scooter finished in Pearl Blaze Orange/Glass Sparkle Black.
