The Maruti Suzuki Baleno will benefit from economies of scale as Maruti plans to not just sell a bunch here, but export many too. Suzuki aims to sell the Baleno in 100 countries and a large bulk of that supply will go from India. Export volume will steadily increase as the company’s Gujarat plant goes on stream. For Maruti to have that much needed success for its Nexa plan ( the S-Cross hasn’t done what it needed to has it? ) it needs the Maruti Suzuki Baleno to be a super-duper hit.
And it is a hit for sure - though I am not sure we can call it a huge blockbuster - yet. So now I return to the title of this piece, for the big hit to happen Maruti needed to undercut the bestselling i20 and blow the competition out of the water.
