Maruti Suzuki sales steady at 1.89 lakh units in September; exports hit record high

Maruti Suzuki India Limited sold a total of 189,665 units in September 2025, in line with CNBC-TV18’s poll estimate of 1.89 lakh units.

The tally includes domestic sales of 135,711 units, sales to other OEMs of 11,750 units and exports of 42,204 units, which marked a new monthly record.

On a year-on-year basis, total sales were down 2.7% from 184,727 units, with domestic sales slipping 6.3% compared with 156,999 units last year. Exports, however, surged 52% from 27,728 units, lifting the overall figure.

The automaker said that GST reforms have significantly boosted consumer sentiment, reflected in its strongest start to the Navratri season in 35 years. It recorded 165,000 deliveries in the first eight days of the festival and received around 80,000 enquiries on Sunday alone.

Since the additional price cuts announced on 18 September, Maruti has logged about 75,000 bookings, with daily bookings up 50% to nearly 15,000. Demand for small cars has been particularly robust, with bookings rising by nearly half.

The company also noted that the September wholesale figures should be seen in the context of logistical constraints during the latter part of the month.
