The compact segment, led by Swift, Baleno, Dzire, and WagonR, contributed 80,659 units, building on last year’s 61,912.
SUVs continued their hot streak, with Brezza, Grand Vitara, Ertiga, and Fronx accounting for 77,892 units, up from 59,022. Super Carry’s 3,418 units remained flat, but exports jumped 44% to 40,054 units, boosting overall figures.
Maruti’s production prowess shone through with 23.4 lakh units in FY25-26, a first for any Indian passenger vehicle maker. The company now eyes ramping up to 40 lakh annual units, investing heavily in capacity expansion and new models to capture evolving buyer preferences in a competitive landscape.
