Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) increased its production in November by 4.33 percent, after having reduced output for nine straight months due to lower demand. The company produced a total of 1,41,834 units in November as against 1,35,946 units in the year-ago month, MSI said in a regulatory filing.

Passenger vehicles' production last month stood at 1,39,084 units as against 1,34,149 units in November 2018, an increase of 3.67 percent, it added.

Production of utility vehicles such as Vitara Brezza, Ertiga and S-Cross, however, increased by 18 percent to 27,187 units as compared to 23,038 units a year ago. Mid-sized sedan Ciaz saw its output rise to 1,830 units in November from 1,460 units in the same month last year.

Light commercial vehicle Super Carry's production increased to 2,750 units last month from 1,797 units in November 2018, the filing said. In October, the automaker had cut its production by 20.7 percent to 1,19,337 units.
