Not just for accidents, a comprehensive car insurance policy offers coverage if the car is damaged following a natural calamity such as a flood, earthquake, landslide, tornado, hurricane, cyclone, etc., or if the car is damaged following a terrorist activity, riot or strike. If the car is stolen, then following investigation and procurement of an FIR, the policyholder is granted compensation up to the Insured Declared Value (IDV) of the car.
No coverage will be extended if the policyholder met with an accident while being under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if the incident is deemed as a consequential loss. In addition, no coverage will be extended due to the normal wear and tear of the vehicle, any damages caused to the tyres, if the damages are mechanical or electrical and if the car is damaged following a war, civil war or any sort of nuclear activity.

Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa range of dealerships has so far only had a presence in developed cities. The brand, however, is expected to expand to smaller towns and rural areas with smaller dealerships. These dealerships will provide customers the same Nexa experience but will be equipped with a 2-vehicle display facility and not the multiple car display facility that is found in regular dealerships.
These smaller dealerships will lower setup costs and will give customers who reside in smaller towns a feel of the premium Nexa experience.
Maruti Suzuki has opened over 350 Nexa range of premium dealerships, ever since the first dealership was opened in the year 2015. The car manufacturer has stated that it has plans to expand its Nexa footprint to around 400 locations by the year 2020.

According to a recent report, Maruti Suzuki is likely to launch a Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) version of the WagonR in the coming months. The vehicle is predicted to be a 7-seater and will be built on Suzuki’s HEARTECT platform akin to its other models Ertiga and Swift. In January this year, Maruti had released the new generation WagonR. The MPV version of the Maruti WagonR may be launched in the Nexa outlets instead of the Arena stores. The 7-seater WagonR may be positioned as a premium offering and will feature the right amount of comfort elements. There are also speculations about the vehicle being baptized as ‘Solio’ and may feature a moniker different from the regular WagonR.

Maruti Suzuki through its regulatory filing has cut down its car production by almost 21% in India. Maruti produced almost 1.71 lakh units in the month of March which dropped down to 1.36 lakh units post that.
The automaker blamed low demands as one of the primary reasons behind the cut down in production. The carmakers also felt that because of this there is a drop in the sales and for it to improve there is a requirement of economic momentum. Maruti Suzuki also felt that it will take at least a year before the numbers go up partially due to the general election which is scheduled to happen in the month of April. The automaker, however, hoped that the new government will take measures to improve the economy which will help the company better their sales.

While the popular car manufacturer of the country, Maruti Suzuki, was expecting a double-digit growth this fiscal year, it is most likely to be around 8%. During the first quarter, the company recorded a growth of 10.5% but the growth has been flat for the past half year. However, the company expects the high rate growth to return during the fourth quarter and scale it up to a yearly average of 8%. The reasons for the flat growth has been observed to be the hike in car insurance costs, fuel prices, and loan interest rates. Also, the company has found that the sales are usually not great during the year before the central elections. This has been noticed for two years in a row.
Though the sales performance of the company has been rather dull these past 5-6 months, the company is hopeful of the next quarter. It will be releasing a new model next year and will offer some great discounts to push retail sales too. Also, the delivery of the 23,000 Ertigas that have been booked is expected to improve sales drastically. Wholesales are expected to shoot up by 5% during the January to March quarter.
