History Of Maruti 800 In India
Nearly 40 years ago, the Maruti 800 was introduced in India. At the time, the then PM Indira Gandhi handed over the keys to the first-selling model of the car to Harpal Singh, who had paid a handsome check of Rs 47,500. The moment went on to become one of the most iconic moments in Indian automotive history.? ?
The 800 was the brainchild of Sanjay Gandhi and a product of Maruti Udyog Limited. It was the first made-in-India car model to get disc brakes, front-wheel drive, floor shift gears, bucket seats, and a plastic moulded dashboard. The car became a big hit with the Indian buyer and went on to become an important part of the Indian experience.
