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.

This also marks the second consecutive year for the company to cross the 2-million sales milestone.

In the domestic market, the company sold 1.79 million units and had the highest-ever exports of 332,585 units in FY2025. During the year, the company also doubled its sales to Toyota Kirloskar Motor from 58,612 units in FY2024 to 106,422 units in FY2025.

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.
