The compact and mid-size segment, which includes models like Baleno, Swift, Dezire, WagonR, Celerio, Ignis and Ciaz, was the highest contributor with sales growing from 61,912 units to 80,659 units in April 2025. This segment remains the backbone of Maruti’s volume strategy.
SUV and MPV continue the momentum
Utility vehicles also recorded strong growth, with sales rising to 77,892 units compared to 59,022 units last year. Models like Brezza, Ertiga, Frontex, Grand Vitara, Invicto and Jimny are continuously increasing sales in the region. The van segment represented by Eeco recorded 13,087 units as against 11,438 units last year, indicating steady demand for commercial and people-pulling applications.
43% jump in exports, decline in OEM sales
Maruti’s export performance remained strong, shipping 40,054 units in April 2026, registering a 43.51% YoY growth as compared to 27,911 units last year. However, Toyota saw a decline in sales by 13.81% to 8,470 units from 9,827 units. Meanwhile, light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales remained steady at 3,418 units, showing marginal growth.
Overall sales decline
Including PV, LCV and OEM supplies, Maruti’s total domestic sales stood at 1,99,592 units, as against 1,51,880 units last year. With the addition of exports, total sales reached 2,39,646 units in April 2026.

Continued growth in SUVs and compact cars, along with rising export volumes, are supporting the overall momentum.
