The company was established by the Government of India as Maruti Udyog Limited in February 1981 as a joint venture with Suzuki, that became the first Japanese automaker to invest in India. Maruti opened its first production facility in Gurugram, Haryana, in 1982.[8] Initially, Maruti was majority owned by the Indian government, with Suzuki only taking a 26% stake during its establishment in 1982. The Indian government gradually reduced its stake, partially departed the business in 2003 by making it a public company. and then sold all of its remaining shares to Suzuki Motor Corporation in 2007.[2][9][10]
