Post liberalization there is change in the perception of Government and GOI decided to divest its stake in the company.
GOI on May 14, 2002 set into motion big-ticket disinvestment in 2002-03 by announcing a two-stage process to exit from Maruti Udyog Ltd, a joint venture with Suzuki Motor Company.
Announcing the decision, Disinvestment Minister Arun Shourie said a Rs 400 crore rights issue to be completely picked up by Suzuki at Rs 3,280 per share will be accompanied by the Japanese auto major paying a control premium of Rs 1,000 crore for gaining a majority stake.
Hence Maruti Udyog ltd became the subsidiary of Suzuki Motors corporation, Japan. It was rechristened as Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.
GoI further diluted its stake in Maruti Suzuki India Ltd through IPO in 2003.The IPO was priced at Rs 125 by the Govt.
