Maruti Suzuki India Limited on Wednesday reported a 34 per cent year-on-year rise in exports, reaching an all-time high of over 4.47 lakh vehicles in FY26, marking its strongest overseas performance to date.

The growth underscores sustained demand for India-made passenger vehicles across global markets, even as domestic automakers increasingly tap exports to offset fluctuations in local demand.

The model is being produced at the Hansalpur facility in Gujarat, which serves as its global manufacturing hub, and is exported to markets in Europe and other regions.In addition to electric vehicles, the company expanded its export lineup with new models, including the ‘Across’, sold domestically under a different name.

The broader export portfolio now spans multiple segments, including small cars, sedans, sport utility vehicles, and light commercial vehicles.

“In the current global environment where trade conditions remain challenging, exports assume a crucial role in supporting economic resilience of a country. Our push for exports reflects our continued commitment to national priorities. Exports of 4.47 lakh vehicles, with a growth of over 34 per cent is our responsible contribution towards this mission,” said Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited.The increase also comes amid a broader push by Indian automakers to strengthen their global footprint, particularly in Africa, Latin America, and parts of Europe, where demand for affordable, fuel-efficient vehicles remains strong.
