Maruti Suzuki India today announced partnering with Orix Auto Infrastructure Services India to launch its car subscription programme in Hyderabad and Pune. Christened, Maruti Suzuki Subscribe, the new programme allows customers to use a brand new car without actually owning it by paying an all-inclusive monthly fee. The monthly charges will also cover maintenance and insurance for the complete tenure, which can be 24, 36 or 48 months, depending on the customer's choice. Earlier, in September 2020, Maruti Suzuki and Orix India partnered to launch a similar subscription programme in Delhi, NCR and Bengaluru.
