MSIL to increase mobile service vans to over 300 by fiscal-end

With the pandemic spiking demand for doorstep servicing of vehicles, the country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) is increasing the number of its mobile service vans to over 300 by the end of this fiscal under its Service on Wheels initiative, according to a senior company official. Driven by 'Maruti Suzuki Service on Wheels' and steps taken at its workshops, including digitisation and safety and hygiene measures, the company's vehicle servicing business has been able to do better in the second quarter than what it did in the comparable period of 2019-20, before covidc hit.
