Maruti Suzuki India hits record April sales, up 33 pc at 2.39 lakh units

Maruti Suzuki India reports highest-ever April sales of 2.39 lakh units, up 33% YoY, driven by strong demand for mini cars, compacts, and SUVs.

"The company posted total sales of 2,39,646 units in April -- marking a sharp 33.29 per cent increase - Maruti Suzuki India"

New Delhi, May 1

Maruti Suzuki India, the country's largest carmaker, on Friday reported its highest-ever April sales, signalling a strong start to the new financial year driven by broad-based demand across segments, particularly small cars and SUVs.

The company posted total sales of 2,39,646 units in April -- marking a sharp 33.29 per cent increase over 1,79,791 units sold in the same month last year.

Domestic sales also touched a record high of 1,91,122 units, up from 1,42,053 units a year ago, surpassing its previous peak of 1,82,165 units recorded in December 2025.

Growth was particularly pronounced in the entry-level segment, with the mini car category -- comprising models like Alto and S-Presso -- witnessing a significant jump to 16,066 units, more than doubling from 6,332 units in April last year.

The compact segment, which includes popular models such as Baleno, Swift, Dzire and WagonR, also delivered strong performance, with sales rising to 80,659 units compared to 61,912 units a year earlier.

The company's utility vehicle portfolio maintained its momentum, reflecting sustained consumer preference for SUVs.

Sales in this segment, which includes models like Brezza, Ertiga, Fronx and Grand Vitara, climbed to 77,892 units from 59,022 units in the corresponding period last year.

Meanwhile, sales of the light commercial vehicle Super Carry remained largely stable at 3,418 units, marginally higher than 3,349 units reported in April 2025.

Exports also contributed significantly to the overall growth, rising to 40,054 units last month compared to 27,911 units a year earlier.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, the carmaker has achieved its highest-ever annual production volume of 23.4 lakh units in FY2025-26, making it the only original equipment maker (OEM) 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.

Record sales of 2.39 lakh units is phenomenal! The compact segment (Baleno, Swift, Dzire) is the backbone of Maruti's success. But I wish they would launch more electric options soon – the Grand Vitara hybrid is good, but we need affordable EVs to match global trends. πŸŒπŸ”‹

Impressive numbers, especially the 40,054 exports. India is becoming a manufacturing hub for Suzuki globally. But let's not forget – these sales come at a time when many are still struggling with rising fuel prices and inflation. Hopefully, the company passes on some benefits to customers. πŸ’°

As someone living abroad, it's heartening to see Indian manufacturing hitting global records. Maruti achieving 23.4 lakh units production is a huge milestone. But the real test will be maintaining this momentum with the shift to electric mobility. Hope they invest more in R&D here. πŸ‘

The demand for SUVs (77k units) is unstoppable! Fronx and Grand Vitara are clearly winning hearts. But I have a small criticism – Maruti still lags in safety features compared to competitors. A car at this price point shouldn't compromise on airbags and body structure. Safety first please! πŸ›‘οΈ

Record April sales is great news for the Indian economy. The doubling of mini car sales (Alto/S-Presso) shows rural demand is picking up. But I'm concerned about the long-term viability – with petrol prices touching β‚Ή100, people might shift to second-hand cars or EVs. Maruti needs a robust EV strategy soon. πŸ’‘
