Maruti Suzuki's July sales hit a record 2,41,421 units, up 34%, with compact cars and utility vehicles leading the 43% surge in domestic passenger vehicle volumes.
Maruti Suzuki India reported its highest-ever July passenger vehicle sales on Saturday, with total volumes climbing 34% to 2,41,421 units from 1,80,526 a year earlier, driven by a rebound in compact cars and utility vehicles.
The country's largest carmaker sold 1,96,203 passenger vehicles in the domestic market, up 43.4% from 1,37,776 units in July 2025 – a new monthly record for the segment, the company said in a regulatory filing. Including light commercial vehicles, total domestic sales reached an all-time high of 2,00,123 units.
Compact cars – the Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Ignis, Swift, and WagonR – led the charge at 90,822 units, up 38% from 65,840 units in the year-ago period. Utility vehicles, including the Brezza, Ertiga, Grand Vitara, and Fronx, rose to 78,851 units from 52,773 units, a gain of nearly 50%. Mini cars (Alto and S-Presso) more than doubled to 12,634 units from 6,822.
Van sales rose to 13,896 units from 12,341, while the Super Carry light commercial vehicle posted 3,920 units, up from 2,794.
The strong July print follows a mixed June quarter for the auto sector, where some peers flagged softer rural demand. Maruti's record domestic numbers suggest inventory build-up ahead of the festival season is running ahead of last year's pace, though the company did not disclose export figures or channel stock levels in the filing.
