PM Modi and Japan's PM inaugurated a new Suzuki factory today, built in Haryana, which will manufacture 1 million cars per year.

Rationale
On 2 July 2026 — the day of the broadcast — PM Narendra Modi and Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi jointly inaugurated (via video conferencing at the India-Japan Joint Economic Forum) Maruti Suzuki's fourth manufacturing plant at IMT Kharkhoda, Haryana. The facility opened with 5 lakh units of annual capacity, scaling to 10 lakh (1 million) vehicles per year at full scale, matching the anchor's future-tense statement that it 'will manufacture 10 lakh cars per year.' All core elements — the inauguration by both PMs that day, the Haryana location, and the 1-million-per-year capacity — are corroborated by wire and business press reports.
