Divya Delhi : On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Maruti Suzuki, India's largest automaker, has cut its e-Vitara production targets by two-thirds.Rare earth mineral shortages prompted this revision, according to a corporate document obtained by Reuters. This shows how China's export restrictions on these vital minerals are disrupting the global car sector.Maruti Suzuki planned to produce 26,500 e-Vitaras between April and September. Under the amended strategy, the business expects to produce 8,200 units. The company blamed "supply constraints" in rare earth elements, which are used to make magnets and other high-tech components.Despite the immediate setback, Maruti Suzuki plans to produce 67,000 EVs in the fiscal year ending March 2026. The company now aims to produce 58,728 e-Vitaras between October and March 2026, up from 40,437.
