Maruti Suzuki Sells 1,80,683 Vehicles in August 2025 as Exports Jump 41% YoY while Domestic Volumes Soften

New Delhi, September 1, 2025: Maruti Suzuki India Limited stated total sales were at 1,80,683 units in August 2025, driven by robust export momentum, while domestic passenger cars moderated.

Total sales included domestic PV and LCV volumes of 1,34,050 units, sales to other OEMs of 10,095 units, and exports of 36,538 units, as per the segment-wise detailed table in Annexure “A” on page 2. On a year-on-year basis, total sales fell 0.6%, exports increased 40.5%, and domestic PVs fell 8.2%.

Key Sales Highlights

Maruti Suzuki reported a mixed sales performance in August 2025 compared to the same month last year. Total sales stood at 1,80,683 units, slightly lower than 1,81,782 units in August 2024, reflecting a marginal 0.6% decline.

Within the domestic market, the company sold 1,44,145 units, down 7.5% year-on-year. Passenger vehicle (PV) sales dipped 8.2% to 1,31,278 units, driven by lower volumes in the Mini and Compact segment (66,450 units, down 3.3%) and also a big decline in mid-size sedans, with the Ciaz reporting zero sales against 707 units last year.

Utility vehicles too contracted, with sales falling 13.8% to 54,043 units, while van sales (Eeco) reduced marginally by 1.8% to 10,785 units. Conversely, the LCV Super Carry recorded a growth of 11.1% to 2,772 units. Sales to other OEMs remained flat at 10,095 units compared to 10,209 units during the same period last year.

Exports came to the rescue by growing 40.5% to 36,538 units, from 26,003 units in August 2024. Overall, though domestic sales were under pressure in major PV segments, the robust export performance cushioned the downfall in total volumes.

April-August FY26 vs FY25 Performance

Maruti Suzuki registered tepid overall growth during the April–August FY26 period, with total sales increasing 1.2% to 8,89,070 units, against 8,78,691 units in the corresponding previous period.

Domestic volumes were still under stress. Total domestic sales, comprising PVs, LCVs, and OEM supplies, declined 4.5% to 7,23,815 units. Of this, passenger vehicles fell 5.3% to 6,62,626 units on the back of soft demand in the Mini and Compact segment (down 6.1% to 3,35,731 units), a decline of 43.1% in sales of mid-size sedans (Ciaz), and a drop of 4.8% in the sales of utility vehicles to 2,68,684 units.

Van sales (Eeco) were broadly flat at 56,231 units compared to 56,692 units during the same period last year. On the positive side, sales of LCV Super Carry increased 5.6% to 14,076 units, and OEM supplies increased 4.3% to 47,113 units.

Exports boosted heavily, increasing 37.1% to 1,65,255 units compared with 1,20,548 units in the year ago period. Overall, while domestic passenger vehicle sales were soft, especially in the entry-class as well as sedan segments, high growth in exports, coupled with robust performance from LCVs and OEM supplies, helped balance out the decline.

Segment-wise Takeaways

Exports of Maruti Suzuki offered a massive cushion against softness at home. In the domestic portfolio, Utility Vehicles continued to underpin volumes in spite of a double-digit YoY fall in August. Entry Mini models faced sharper pressure, while the Compact sub-segment recorded a modest YoY growth, led by nameplates like Baleno, Dzire, Swift and WagonR.
