Maruti began as Maruti Udyog Limited, incorporated by the Government of India in 1981, and became a joint venture with Suzuki Motor Corporation in 1982.
Early Maruti identity in India used a distinctive stylized mark associated with the new national small-car project, while later branding increasingly emphasized Suzuki's established emblem after the Japanese partnership shaped the product range. The modern Maruti Suzuki identity pairs the Suzuki symbol with the Maruti Suzuki wordmark, reflecting both the Indian market heritage of Maruti and Suzuki's engineering ownership. The company adopted the Maruti Suzuki India Limited name in 2007, aligning the corporate identity more directly with the Suzuki global brand.
