I was chatting with one of my relatives who works for Maruti when one of his friends who also works for Maruti joined us. This friend works at the mother plant at Gurgaon where as my relative is posted at Manesar. Following is the info I could gather from them.
1. Production has stopped tempprarily as the demand is slow and they have no more space to park the new production. This happend during this season every year, but this time it is slightly longer due to even lower demand. And will commance as soon as the demand inceases during festival season.
2. Production of A-Star has already begun, but none of them has seen the actual car as it is being produced at the Manesar plant.
3. Maruti had produced five or six prototypes of "facelifted Zen Estilo" a couple of months back, but they had no knowledge if it actually will be launched.
4. Sale of SX4 are really down as per my relatives words, they are producing only 10 to 15 engines for SX4 every day. (he works at the engine division).
