Suzuki, Maruti Propose Osamu Suzuki Centre Of Excellence In Gujarat And Haryana
Suzuki Motor Corporation and Maruti Suzuki India Limited have announced plans to set up the Osamu Suzuki Centre of Excellence (OSCOE) in India. The announcement was made during a remembrance event in Delhi for the late Osamu Suzuki, the former Chairman of Suzuki Motor Corporation who passed away on December 25, 2024.
Osamu Suzuki, leadership facilitated Suzuki’s entry into India and its rise as a key player in the country’s automotive sector. Suzuki’s collaboration with the Indian government in the 1980s established Maruti Udyog Limited, now known as Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL). Efforts undertaken by him have laid the foundation for the growth of the Indian automotive industry and it continues to be a blueprint for success in the Indian market for all automakers.
Planned Locations in Gujarat and Haryana
OSCOE is proposed to be developed in two Indian states—Gujarat and Haryana. These locations have previously played a key role in Maruti Suzuki’s operations and supply chain development.
Goals of the Centre
The Centre will aim to:
- Support India’s manufacturing growth plans
- Improve the quality and capabilities of component suppliers at all levels, including tier 1, 2, and 3 manufacturers
- Promote Japanese manufacturing methods through structured programmes involving academic partnerships
Activities Beyond the Automotive Sector
While led by automobile industry leaders, the activities at OSCOE will not be limited to the automotive sector. The centre will also extend its training and knowledge-sharing efforts to other areas of manufacturing.
The initiative is intended to carry forward the legacy of Osamu Suzuki, who played a major role in bringing Japanese manufacturing systems to India.
