Suzuki Achieves Cumulative Automobile Sales of
30 Million Units in India
Suzuki Motor Corporation’s subsidiary in India, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (hereinafter, "Maruti Suzuki"), has achieved an unparalleled milestone of 30 million cumulative Indian domestic sales on 2 November 2025.
Suzuki signed a joint venture agreement with the Indian Government and Maruti Udyog, the predecessor of Maruti Suzuki in 1982, and rolled out its first model, the Maruti 800 in December 1983. Since then, the company has been providing cars like the Alto, WagonR, and Swift that support the daily transportation of people in India, while also expanding its lineup of SUV models that have become increasingly popular in recent years, such as the Brezza, Grand Vitara, Fronx, and the Victoris, which was launched in September 2025. The company has provided a range of vehicles that meet the needs of Indian customers of the era. We have achieved the 30 million cumulative sales milestone in 42 years. India is the second country following Japan to achieve cumulative automobile sales of 30 million units.
Maruti Suzuki currently sells 19 models in India. These include powertrain options such as hybrid and CNG models with low CO2 emissions. Furthermore, in November 2024, Suzuki announced its first BEV e VITARA, for which India will be the manufacturing hub. The e VITARA, which is being manufactured at Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat plant, will be exported to over 100 countries and regions, of which the first consignment was sent to Europe in August 2025.
Suzuki is working to realize a carbon-neutral society through a multi-pathway approach with hybrid vehicles, CNG vehicles, and BEVs. As a leading company in the Indian passenger car market, we will continue to provide products that Indian customers demand, and grow together with India by aiming for an infrastructure mobility closely connected with people’s lives.
