PPX Saying

The sales pattern for Maruti Suzuki in September 2025 is not entirely consistent. Exports served as a robust buffer, recording a 52% YoY jump and assisting the company in closing the month with a moderate overall growth of 2.67%, even though domestic sales of passenger and utility vehicles declined significantly due to declining demand.

The steep drop in UV sales points to increased competition in the SUV market. Although stability is being ensured by Maruti’s expanding export presence and OEM relationships, particularly with Toyota. In the future, Maruti’s reliance on strategic alliances and exports might be the key to maintaining momentum in the face of domestic obstacles.
