Maruti Suzuki Records Marginal Growth in Domestic Car Sales for January 2026 As Exports Soar

Maruti Suzuki exported a total of 3.95 lakh passenger vehicles in 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of over 21%. This solid performance reaffirms its position as India's largest passenger vehicle exporter for the fifth consecutive year. The company exported 18 different models to over 100 international markets, reflecting its strong global presence.

In December 2025, Maruti Suzuki reported over 37% growth in monthly car sales, selling 204,385 units. This was a significant increase from the previous year's 167,536 units, showing a strong rebound in both domestic and export markets. The company attributes this growth to favorable changes in the GST structure.

Maruti Suzuki's top export markets include Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. This diverse market spread allows the company to cater to various customer preferences and increase its global footprint. The new Swift model has also contributed positively to the company's growth in these markets.

In June 2025, Maruti Suzuki experienced a decline in domestic sales, selling 1,18,906 units, which represented a 13.30% year-on-year decrease. Despite leading the market for decades, this drop indicates challenges in the Indian automotive sector. However, exports rose significantly during the same period, showing a contrasting performance.

The new Swift has been performing well, averaging about 18,000 units monthly, compared to its predecessor's 15,000 units with the CNG option. This indicates a strong reception for the new model, contributing positively to Maruti Suzuki's sales figures and highlighting its appeal in the domestic market.
