Maruti Suzuki India to hire 950 in the next fiscal

New Delhi, February 12: The country’s largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India today said it will hire an additional 950 people in the next fiscal including some expatriates from Europe and the US.

“We are looking at 950 people for 2010-11. A good chunk will go for research and development,” Maruti Suzuki India Managing Executive Officer Administration (HR, Finance and IT) S Y Siddiqui told reporters on the sidelines of SIAM HR conclave.

At present, MSI has a staff strength of 7,500 employees.

Enrollment in the next fiscal will be higher than the 800 people recruited this fiscal by the company, Siddiqui said.

He, however, said the company might go for an additional hiring once details are finalised about its upcoming capacity expansion at the Manesar plant.

It is 950 as of now and it will get revised when we look at the expanded capacity.
