TOKYO -- Suzuki Motor announced plans Monday to consolidate auto production in India under local subsidiary Maruti Suzuki, as the Japanese automaker seeks to improve production efficiency.

Under the move, Suzuki Motor Gujarat (SMG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Suzuki that manufactures four-wheeled vehicles, will become a wholly owned unit of Maruti Suzuki. The company plans to complete the process by March 2024.
