Domestic sales for March 2026 totaled 1,69,428 units, while exports rose to 47,040 units, marking a significant contribution to the company’s overall growth. Sales to other OEMs reached 8,783 units, reflecting Maruti’s role as a key supplier to the automotive industry. The month-on-month increase underscores sustained demand for its compact passenger vehicles and improved utilization of export capacity at its manufacturing facilities. For the full financial year 2025-26, Maruti Suzuki reported total sales of 24,22,713 units, representing a 3% year-on-year rise compared to FY25. This marks the third consecutive year the company has surpassed 2 million units annually, reinforcing its position as India’s largest passenger-vehicle manufacturer. Domestic sales for FY26 reached 18,61,704 units, while exports hit a record 4,47,774 units, reflecting a 34% growth over the previous fiscal year. These figures solidify Maruti’s status as India’s leading passenger-vehicle exporter for the fifth consecutive year and highlight the growing importance of overseas markets in its sales mix.
