Maruti's first car

Do you know who is the owner of Maruti's first car and where is that car today?

The car was bought by Harpal Singh, a resident of Delhi, who was an Air India employee.  The key to this car was handed over to Harpal by the Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi on December 14, 1983.  

When this car was initially sold, a lucky draw was drawn for it, after which Harpal Singh got this car.  In India, Maruti Suzuki 800 came as the cheapest car in the country, which was called public car.  Maruti Motors Limited formed a joint venture with Suzuki Motor Corporation in 1981, after which production of this car started.

Around 20,000 people had booked the car but Delhi's Harpal Singh's name came out through a lottery draw and he was handed the car keys by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi himself.

He still have that car today. The Maruti company many times offered him a considerable price to buy that car, but they did not sell till their last breath.

Today, the first Maruti Suzuki 800 car in the country is in an abandoned condition. The first owner of Maruti Suzuki 800, Harpal Singh is no longer in this world and his wife is also not in this world. His car is parked outside their house in Green Park in Delhi.
