Oct 29 (Reuters) - Suzuki Motor 7269.T plans to launch eight sport utility vehicles in India over the next five to six years as it seeks to reclaim market share lost to rivals, the Japanese carmaker's president, Toshihiro Suzuki, said on Wednesday.
The carmaker plans to return to its historic market share of 50% even though competition in India is the toughest it has been during the company's 40-year presence, Suzuki said at the sidelines of the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo.
