(now AGC Inc.) & Maruti Udyog Limited (now Maruti Suzuki India Limited) (MSIL) in 1984. AGC Inc., Japan, established in 1907, is one of the world's leading glass producers with a global network of over 200 subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. The group's operations comprise float glass and automotive glass. AGC group is the largest glass manufacturer in the world with a 12% global market share in the flat glass segment and a 30% global market share in the automotive glass segment.
AIGL to benefit from the rebound in MSIL’s volume: MSIL is a key contributor to the company’s sales and the volumes have witnessed a good rebound in FY23 with 19% yoy growth in the sales. If this momentum sustains, would aid the company to drive its volumes.
