Maruti Suzuki’s share in car exports from India hits all-time high of 47% in Q1

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd ’s share in car exports from India rose to an all-time high of 47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“With over 96,000 vehicles exported in Q1 FY 2025-26, the Company’s share in PV exports from India stood at an all-time high at 47%,” India’s biggest carmaker said in a statement.

Maruti Suzuki currently exports 17 models to nearly 100 countries. Top countries for export include South Africa, Japan and Saudi Arabia.

Maruti Suzuki on Thursday announced that Fronx has become the fastest SUV from India to clock export of 1 lakh units. This feat was achieved in just 25 months. The model is exclusively manufactured at the company’s Gujarat facility.

Launched in April 2023 in India, the export of Fronx commenced to markets like Latin America, Middle East, and Africa, the same year.

Speaking on the milestone, Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki, said, “Maruti Suzuki’s capability to manufacture world-class vehicles for global markets exemplifies the true essence of ‘Make in India’ initiative.”

“Our renewed focus on international markets has been instrumental in Maruti Suzuki’s continued leadership in passenger vehicle exports. Fronx is delighting customers all over the world. Besides clocking the fastest 1 lakh exports, Fronx was also India’s number 1 exported passenger vehicle in FY 2024-25,” Takeuchi added.

Maruti Suzuki has been the top passenger vehicle exporter from India for the past four consecutive financial years.

The company’s export volumes in 2024-25 exceeded 3.3 lakh units, highest ever in any financial year. This marked a growth of 17.5% over the previous fiscal. Fronx, Jimny, Baleno, Swift and Dzire were the top exported models.

Maruti Suzuki’s growth ambitions can’t be met by domestic demand alone, a top company executive told Fortune India earlier this year. The company is targeting 20% sales from exports by FY31.
