Maruti Suzuki India Limited reported total sales of 189,665 units in September 2025, registering approximately 3 percent year-on-year growth over the 184,727 units sold in September 2024. The print reflects steady domestic traction, a notable jump in exports, and mixed trends across vehicle segments. Significantly, exports scaled a new peak, highlighting Maruti Suzuki’s growing contribution to overseas markets even as domestic segmental performances diverged.
Alongside the headline numbers, the company cites improved customer sentiment following GST reforms, coupled with the onset of India’s festive season. According to the brand, early festive retail momentum was strong, with the highest-ever deliveries recorded in the first eight days of Navratri.
Headline Performance: Where the Growth Came From
- Total Sales: 189,665 units
- Domestic Sales: 135,711 units
- Sales to Other OEMs: 11,750 units
- Exports: 42,204 units (all-time monthly high)
The YoY increase stems from a combination of resilient small-car demand and exceptional export performance. While the domestic market remains competitive, the diversified demand profile spanning mini/compact cars, people movers, and light commercial vehicles continues to give Maruti Suzuki scale efficiencies.

Segment-Wise Breakdown
Mini & Compact: Core Strength Reaffirmed
The mini and compact portfolio which includes the Alto, S-Presso, Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Swift, and other nameplates accounted for 74,090 units in September 2025, up from 70,843 units a year earlier. This uptick underscores the enduring appeal of value-driven, fuel-efficient models that fit first-time buyers and upgraders alike. The category’s breadth offers multiple price points and trim choices, enabling Maruti Suzuki to serve varied urban and semi-urban needs.
Utility Vehicles: High Base and Competitive Pressure
Utility vehicles (including Brezza, Invicto, Ertiga, Jimny, Victories, and others) registered 48,695 units, down from 61,549 units in September 2024. The decline suggests a combination of last year’s elevated base and heightened competition in compact/mid-size SUV and MPV segments. As rivals roll out aggressive feature sets, alternative powertrains, and promotional finance, the UV battlefield remains particularly intense.
Vans and LCVs: Stable Van, Softer LCV
The Eeco (Van) posted 10,035 units, signaling steady demand for versatile people-mover and commercial applications. The Super Carry (LCV) delivered 2,891 units, lower than 3,099 units a year earlier indicative of sensitivity in the small commercial segment to interest rates, fuel prices, and regional freight cycles.
Exports: New Monthly Peak
Maruti Suzuki set a new monthly export record at 42,204 units, decisively higher than 27,728 units in September 2024. This surge reflects both product acceptance in key international markets and the company’s strengthened export logistics and homologation strategy. The export mix often includes compact hatchbacks and sedans that are well-aligned to affordability, reliability, and maintenance expectations in emerging markets.
Festive Tailwinds and GST-Led Sentiment
According to the brand, GST reform has streamlined taxation and enhanced affordability, which, combined with festive promotions and improved availability, has raised showroom conversions. The company reports record deliveries of 165,000 units in the first eight days of Navratri, indicating healthy retail pull. For buyers, clearer on-road pricing, packaged finance offers, and lower operating costs on popular models tend to accelerate purchase decisions during this period.
What the Mix Tells Us
- Small-car resilience: The mini/compact segment’s growth confirms that value propositions remain potent in a price-sensitive market.
- UV competition: The UV dip highlights fierce competition and the need for ongoing feature, pricing, and supply calibration.
- Export diversification: Record exports reduce dependence on domestic cycles and support production stability.
Outlook: Focus Areas for the Coming Weeks
- Festive Sustainment: Carry forward Navratri momentum into Dussehra and Diwali with inventory discipline on high-velocity trims.
- UV Strategy: Sharpen offers and variant availability in UVs to defend share against aggressive rival lineups.
- Export Pipeline: Maintain export cadence to consolidate the new high watermark and buffer domestic variability.
