In FY 2023-24, we sold close to 12 lakh vehicles through our Arena channel. I thank our customers for their continued trust and faith in the brand Maruti Suzuki.”

The transformation of Arena outlets emphasizes design, technology, and customer experience, aiming to create a youthful and connected environment. This rebranding is the result of extensive research, customer feedback, and anticipation of future market trends.
