Maruti Suzuki, a leading automotive manufacturer in India, experienced substantial production growth in September 2025. The company’s total production for the month reached 2,01,915 units, marking a 26% increase compared to the 1,59,743 units produced in September 2024. This surge in production was fueled by heightened demand during the festive season and a focus on fulfilling customer bookings.
The compact car segment witnessed the most significant growth, with popular models like the Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, and Swift experiencing increasing demand. Consequently, the company produced 93,301 units in this segment, a considerable rise from the 68,413 units produced in September of the previous year. This increase underscores the continued preference for hatchbacks and compact sedans among consumers.
Production of SUVs and MUVs also saw a substantial rise, reflecting growing customer interest in these segments. Vehicles such as the Brezza, Ertiga, and Fronx saw a 27% increase in production, reaching 79,496 units, up from 62,752 units in the prior year.
Entry-level and other models, including the Alto and S-Presso, saw a slight increase in production, with 12,318 units produced compared to 12,155 units the previous year. Production of the Eeco van also increased to 13,201 units, up from 11,702 units a year earlier. Maruti’s light commercial vehicle, the Super Carry, also performed well, with 3,599 units produced, surpassing the 3,034 units from September 2024.
Notably, the company did not produce its premium sedan, the Ciaz, during this period, in contrast to the 1,687 units produced in the same month the previous year.
Maruti Suzuki recently released its sales report, revealing total sales of 1,89,665 units in September 2025. However, domestic passenger vehicle sales saw an 8% decline, reaching 1,32,820 units. The company attributes this decrease to inventory management and preparations for the festive season.
