Bangalore : India's top car maker Maruti Suzuki may manufacture cars for German auto firm Volkswagen's global market on a contract basis, according to a report, citing Maruti's managing director.

"The talks with Volkswagen are going on at a global level and there is still no clear picture. There is a possibility of an OEM (original equipment manufacturing) supply contract with them, like we have with Nissan," Shinzo Nakanishi was quoted as saying according to a daily.

But, there was no possibility of platform sharing as the German company's production and product development costs were huge, which could affect Maruti's business viability, Nakanishi, who is also Maruti's chief executive told reporters.
