Czech automaker Skoda Auto India, which is celebrating its silver jubilee (25-years) in the country, has reportedly clocked its best-ever monthly sales with 7,422 units sold in March 2025.

The company attributes the sales performance on the popularity of its Kylaq SUV, which has enabled it to reach out to a wider sect of consumers.

Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said, “With the launch of the all-new Kylaq, we committed to a ‘New Era’ in our India journey. The 7,422 cars we sold in March 2025 is testament to this journey taking shape, and is also the result of sustained planning, efforts and a strategy aimed at democratising European technology on Indian roads. The customer feedback highlights that Kylaq comes with an exceptional price-value proposition, taking comfort, space and safety from a segment higher, into the sub-4-metre SUV segment. To enable more customers and celebrate the Kylaq success, we decided to extend the introductory pricing until the end of April.”

Launched in November 2024 and deliveries beginning January 2025, the Skoda Kylaq

is Skoda’s Auto India’s first sub-4-metre SUV. The company is ramping up production of the Kylaq SUV with a target to deliver over 15,000 units towards active bookings by end-May. Furthermore, the company has also outlined an ambitious target to have 350 touchpoints in 2025, rapidly scaling from over 280 touchpoints at present.

Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s largest car manufacturer, has reported its highest-ever annual sales for the financial year 2024-25 with wholesale of 2.23 million units.

A deeper look at segment-wise sales reveals interesting trends:

Maruti Suzuki India sold 1.76 million passenger vehicles in FY 2024-25, maintaining steady demand compared to 1.75 million units in the previous year. The compact and mini car segment contributed 904,909 units, while the rapidly growing utility vehicle (SUV & MPV) segment reached 720,186 units, significantly up from 642,296 units in FY 2023-24.

In the CV space, the Super Carry LCV maintained strong performance, with 34,492 units sold, slightly up from 33,763 units in the previous year.

Maruti Suzuki India’s focus on SUVs seems to have hit all the right now, with models like Brezza, Grand Vitara and Fronx boosting overall sales.

Going forward, it would be interesting to see how the company counters the decline in the Mini and Compact car segment.

Hisashi Takeuchi, MD & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India, said, “FY 2024-25 has been a landmark year for Maruti Suzuki in terms of exports. Aligned with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ vision, we attained record exports of 332,585 units. This achievement once again cemented our position as India’s number 1 passenger vehicle exporter. We are humbled that our manufacturing excellence has earned global trust, with Maruti Suzuki contributing nearly 43 percent of the country's total vehicle exports. During the year, we commenced exports of Fronx and Jimny 5-door to Japan and it is heartening that both models have received overwhelming response. This is a testament to India’s growing stature as a global manufacturing hub.”

“As announced at Bharat Mobility Global Auto Expo, India is the global manufacturing hub of Suzuki’s first global strategic BEV, the e VITARA. In FY 2025-26, we will initiate exports of e VITARA to around 100 countries, including Europe and Japan,” added Takeuchi.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor, one of the leading passenger vehicle manufacturers, has reported its best-ever financial year sales in FY2025.

For FY2025, the company shared that its SUV and MPV sales grew by 35 percent YoY, while exports surged by 59 percent YoY. It continued to expand its presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, which helped the company reach out to more potential customers.

Varinder Wadhwa, Vice-President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business & Profit Enhancement, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “The growth has been fuelled by the strong and consistent adoption of SUVs MPVs and hybrids, further reinforced by robust export momentum and deeper engagement in Tier II and III cities – highlighting the increasing relevance of our diverse product portfolio. Our multi-pathway approach, complemented by customer-centric initiatives like T-CARE has empowered us to deliver meaningful value at every stage of the ownership journey. This, in turn, has created strong opportunities for us while establishing a solid foundation for the coming year, even amid intensifying competition and rising consumer expectations.”
