Maruti Suzuki has already launched a special drive to support affected customers. The special assistance to customers is an expression of Maruti Suzuki's solidarity towards those in need. The company has already set up exclusive teams to coordinate, monitor and provide 24x7 support to customers at over 180 dealer workshops in Kerala. The Company is also arranging courtesy mobility to customers whose flood affected cars are under repairs. This is being done by providing a loaner car or through tie-ups with cab services.
Arrangements such as towing facility, emergency call centre are set up for customers at each workshop. Additional spare parts have been requisitioned on a fast track basis. Separate parking areas have been identified to park the impacted cars while they wait for repairs.

Kerala has been hit by the worst floods in a 100 years. The Kerala Government estimates Rs 21,000 crore will be needed to rebuild the state. The funds are required to rebuild hundreds of flooded villages, thousands of damaged and destroyed homes and 10,000 kilometres of ravaged roads.
This Onam as Kerala struggles to rebuild after the most devastating floods in a century, NDTV has organised a special telethon to raise funds for Kerala. We have specific goals - to enable the rebuilding of villages in the worst-affected districts and provide immediate assistance in terms of rehabilitation and food kits to people in the worst affected areas . All donations will go directly to our partner NGO Plan India.
Our focus will be coverage that makes a difference, stories with a heart, standing by people and making their experience a shared one to effect change.
