"This is a proud moment for us, as very few companies across the world have been able to manufacture such large volumes in a single country. - Hisashi Takeuchi"

New Delhi, April 23

Maruti Suzuki India Limited on Thursday said it has achieved its highest-ever annual production volume of 23.4 lakh units in FY2025-26, making it the only original equipment maker in the country to achieve such record production volume of passenger vehicles.

Maruti Suzuki India also became the only company among Suzuki Motor Corporation's global automobile manufacturing facilities, to achieve this landmark volume, it said in a statement.

The company aims to scale it to about 40 lakh units per annum.

"This is a proud moment for us, as very few companies across the world have been able to manufacture such large volumes in a single country. At Maruti Suzuki, we have always believed in offering products and technologies that complement the evolving needs and aspirations of our customers, earning their trust, generation after generation," said Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited.

Dzire, Fronx, Swift, Ertiga and Baleno were the most produced models during the year, with each crossing the two lakh unit mark, said the company.

"At its foundation lies the mutual trust and long-standing collaboration that we share with our employees, vendor and dealer partners. This ecosystem supported by the current government's policy environment, like the rollout of GST 2.0, strengthened market confidence and stimulated demand at a critical time allowing us to manufacture record-high units," said Takeuchi.

The automaker currently operates four manufacturing facilities, one each in Gurugram, Manesar and Kharkhoda in Haryana, and Hansalpur in Gujarat.

Together, these facilities have an installed annual capacity of 24 lakh units.

As part of its capacity expansion strategy, the company, in March 2026 identified land for its fifth manufacturing facility at Khoraj Industrial Estate in Sanand, Gujarat.

Once fully operational, this facility will have an annual production capacity of 10 lakh units.

Great achievement, but I hope this focus on volume doesn't come at the cost of quality. Some recent models have had niggling issues. Also, with 40 lakh units as a target, what about the environmental impact? Need more focus on electric vehicles beyond just the eVX.

Swift and Baleno crossing 2 lakh units each? No surprise! They are the kings of the hatchback segment. Reliable, fuel-efficient, and great resale value. That's the Maruti promise. Dad's 2010 Swift is still running smoothly.

Interesting to see the CEO mention government policy like GST 2.0. A stable policy environment really does help businesses plan and invest for the long term. This kind of growth is good for the entire automotive ecosystem.

Haryana and Gujarat becoming auto hubs! This will boost local economies massively. From vendors to transporters to showroom staff, lakhs of families depend on Maruti. Hope the new plant brings development to Sanand area as well.

The part about "earning trust, generation after generation" is so true. In my family, we've had an Omni, a WagonR, and now I'm looking at the Grand Vitara. They've evolved with the times. But competition is fierce now with Tata and Hyundai. Can't rest on laurels!
