The country's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki India said that it is considering increasing the production capacity at its Manesar facility and a decision on this is likely in a day or two.

Mr RC Bhargava chairman of Maruti Suzuki India on the sidelines of the company's annual general meeting said that “We are considering a capacity expansion at our Manesar plant... The decision on capacity expansion will be taken in one or two days.”

As per report the company would decide on increasing the capacity and investment needed for the same in presence of its parent Suzuki Motor Corporation.

Last week, Mr Bhargava said the company would have discussions with Suzuki on a range of issues such as further investment in the country, ramping up production capacity and handling the European export market.
