Suzuki Carry will be produced in Indonesia with initial production set at 70,000 units in FY19 and will be exported to over 100 countries. In India, the Super Carry LCV was launched in July 2016. It is priced just above the Rs. 4 lakhs and marked the automakers entry into the commercial vehicle sales with dedicated dealerships for the LCV across the country.

In recent times, the demand for the Super Carry is on the rise. In FY2019 sales stood at 23,874 units while the company exported 2,251 units of Super Carry to Africa. Maruti Suzuki has just announced that the company will discontinue the diesel variant of the Super Carry LCV from April 1, 2020. The company cites that upgrading the engine to a BS VI compliant engine will be uneconomical though upgrading the petrol and CNG variant will be more economically viable.
