Maruti Suzuki exports surge 30% in Jan-Oct
India's leading passenger vehicle manufacturer Maruti Suzuki reported a nearly 30% increase in exports during the first ten months of the current calendar year, marking a significant growth compared to the entire 2025 calendar year. Despite geopolitical challenges, including the disruption of key shipping routes and the unstable situation in the Middle East, the carmaker managed to maintain strong export figures, led by its CEO Rahul Bharti.
In the face of difficulties, Maruti Suzuki successfully diversified its export business, reaching nearly 120 countries, with Japan, Latin America, and Africa being its top markets. Bharti revealed that the company entered 20 new markets, primarily in Europe, in the first quarter of the ongoing year through the e-Vitara, which helped expand their overseas sales.
Among the top five exported models from India, Maruti Suzuki highlighted the Fronx, Jimny, Dzire, and Swift. Their internal combustion engine and electric vehicles also saw strong traction in international markets, with the e-Vitara exported to 50 countries, including the UK, Norway, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland. The company contributed 51% of India's passenger vehicle exports between April and September 2026, and nearly 93% of its electric vehicle exports.
