Isuzu Motors India has announced achieving 1 lakh units production milestone, a testament to the Japanese brand’s growing presence in India. It rolled out the 100,000 unit last week from its Sri City manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh.

We remain focused on delivering value-driven, reliable, and innovative mobility solutions to the delight of our customers,” Kishimoto said.
Reflecting on the brand’s journey in India, Rajesh Mittal, president & managing director, Isuzu Motor India, recounted the company’s achievements in both production and exports. “One key highlight is that around 22 per cent of our production line workforce comprises talented women. This showcases our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion. Additionally, 100 per cent production workforce are diploma engineers and they make world-class vehicles adhering to the same global standards of Isuzu’s manufacturing and operational excellence. This has enabled us to become the leading exporter of commercial vehicles from India. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to provide products and services of the highest level of quality in India and in the overseas market.”
