Maruti Suzuki has reached the three crore sales milestone in the domestic market in a span of just over four decades
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has achieved yet another landmark moment in its four-decade journey – crossing the 3 crore domestic sales milestone, a first for any passenger vehicle manufacturer in India. The achievement is a testament to the brand’s dominance in the Indian market for decades and shows its status as a household name.
The company reached this massive figure in November 2025 – 42 years after it began selling passenger vehicles in India. The sales trajectory tells its own story of accelerating growth. Maruti Suzuki took nearly 28 years and two months to hit the first crore milestone in February 2012. However, the second crore followed in just 7 years and 5 months.
The third crore came even faster in a record 6 years and 4 months – emphasising its growing popularity. Few brands have shaped Indian mobility like Maruti Suzuki. It all began in December 1983 when the first Maruti 800 was handed over to a customer. Over the decades, the company has evolved alongside the market – expanding its lineup, adding powertrains and new technologies.
The Alto stands tall as Maruti Suzuki’s biggest success story – accounting for over 47 lakh units sold. The WagonR tall riding hatchback follows with more than 34 lakh units while the Swift contributes over 32 lakh units and the duo continue to be amongst the regular top five selling models in India every month.
Other strong performers such as the Brezza and Fronx also rank among the brand’s top ten all-time sellers. Today, Maruti Suzuki retails 19 models across multiple fuel and transmission option, offering more than 170 variants to cater across compact, midsize and premium segments. Besides recording impressive sales numbers with its CNG range, the Indo-Japs concentrated on improving safety standards of its models as well in recent years.
Straying away from its dominance in the entry-level mass market space, Maruti Suzuki strengthened its SUV portfolio big time in recent years as the arrival of Brezza, Fronx, Grand Vitara and the newly launched Victoris has helped stretch its market share. Following the same trend, MSIL’s first EV, the e Vitara, is all set to be introduced next month in India. Lately, its export figures surged too on the back of good reception for Baleno, Jimny 5-door and Fronx.
Speaking about the new milestone, Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “When I look at the length and breadth of India and think that 3 crore customers have placed their trust in Maruti Suzuki to realize their dream of mobility, it fills me with humility and gratitude. Yet, with car penetration at approximately 33 vehicles per 1,000 people*, we know our journey is far from over. We will continue to make every possible effort to bring the joy of mobility to as many people as we can, while also be an asset to both the economy and the environment at the same time.”
