Maruti Suzuki: The Rs 125 stock that hit Rs 10,000 in 14 years

The near 8,000% rally in this stock in the last 14 years is a classic example of consumption boom in India, analysts say.

Back in 2003, the government divested 25 per cent stake in Maruti Suzuki Limited (Maruti Udyog Limited as it was known then) at Rs 125 per share.
