Maruti Suzuki's September Sales Mixed: Record Exports, Domestic Drop
Maruti Suzuki India Limited has reported a 2.7% increase in total sales for September 2025, with 1,89,665 units sold. However, the company faces challenges in the domestic stock market, where sales declined by 8.3% year-on-year due to logistical constraints, despite strong festive demand.
Maruti Suzuki's export sales soared to an all-time high of 42,204 units in September 2025, a staggering 52.2% increase from the same month last year. This success masks concerns about the domestic stock market, where the company's utility vehicle segment saw a significant drop, from 61,549 units to 48,695 units, reflecting intensified competition.
The domestic stock market share for Maruti Suzuki in passenger vehicles stood at 51.2% in September 2025. Despite this, the company faces pressure from rivals like Tata Motors, Mahindra, and Hyundai. The 8.3% decline in domestic sales can be attributed to the challenging competitive environment, with regional players gaining market share through aggressive pricing and feature-rich offerings. GST 2.0 reforms have made cars more affordable, creating a favourable environment for automotive sales during the festive season. Maruti Suzuki's compact car segment saw a 10.6% increase in sales, with 66,882 units sold in September 2025.
Maruti Suzuki's September 2025 sales reflect a mixed picture. While export sales reached record highs, domestic sales declined due to logistical constraints and increased competition. The company's stock market share remains strong, but it faces challenges in maintaining its dominance in the domestic stock market. The festive season has shown strong underlying demand, with Maruti Suzuki delivering 1,65,000 units during the first eight days of Navratri.
