Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), India’s leading passenger vehicle manufacturer, registered record total exports of 332,585 units in the financial year 2024-25. This marks a 17.5% increase over the previous year’s exports of 283,067 units.

As India's number one passenger vehicle exporter for the fourth consecutive financial year, Maruti Suzuki accounted for nearly 43% of the country's total vehicle exports. Fronx, Jimny, Baleno, Swift and Dzire were the highest exported models in FY25. The top 5 markets for Maruti Suzuki were South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Japan and Mexico.

This comes weeks after Maruti Suzuki MD & CEO Hisashi Takeuchi told Fortune India that the company expects big growth in exports to the African market because of "robust and price-competitive" products.

Speaking on the 3 lakh export milestone, Takeuchi said, “FY 2024-25 has been a landmark year for Maruti Suzuki in terms of exports. Aligned with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ vision, we attained record exports of 332,585 units. This achievement once again cemented our position as India’s number 1 passenger vehicle exporter. We are humbled that our manufacturing excellence has earned global trust, with Maruti Suzuki contributing nearly 43% of the country's total vehicle exports. During the year, we commenced exports of Fronx and Jimny 5-door to Japan and it is heartening that both models have received overwhelming response. This is a testament to India’s growing stature as a global manufacturing hub.”

“As announced at Bharat Mobility Global Auto Expo, India is the global manufacturing hub of Suzuki’s first global strategic BEV, the e VITARA. In FY 2025-26, we will initiate exports of e VITARA to around 100 countries, including Europe and Japan,” Takeuchi added.
