Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest automaker, is targeting to export over 400,000 vehicles in the upcoming fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26). The company has already shipped more than 200,000 units overseas between April and September 2025. A senior company official revealed this information.
In September 2025 alone, Maruti Suzuki India Limited exported 42,204 vehicles, marking a 52% increase compared to the 27,728 units exported in September of the previous year. According to Rahul Bharti, Senior Executive Officer (Corporate Affairs) at Maruti Suzuki India, the company exported approximately 110,000 vehicles in the first quarter (Q1) and over 207,000 units in the first six months (April-September). This performance puts the company on track to achieve its 400,000-unit export target.
Bharti further stated that Maruti Suzuki’s exports are double those of the second-largest exporter in the country. He emphasized the intense competition in the market, with around 18 companies operating in India. However, Maruti Suzuki’s exports surpass those of the second-biggest exporter by a significant margin. Reflecting on the company’s strong domestic market presence, Bharti highlighted a similar dominance in foreign markets. He noted that four years ago, the company exported approximately 100,000 vehicles annually, but now it exports over 100,000 units in a single quarter. In FY21, the company exported 96,139 units.
Furthermore, the company exported 6,068 units of its electric car eVITARA in August and September 2025. Bharti acknowledged this as a strong message for ‘Make in India,’ indicating that cars manufactured in India are gaining recognition worldwide. He also mentioned that recent free trade agreements (FTAs) with various countries have aided in boosting exports.
The top exported cars in the first half of FY26 were the Fronx, Jimny, Swift, Baleno, and Dzire. South Africa, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Chile, and Colombia have emerged as the largest foreign markets for Maruti Suzuki.
