New Delhi, November 1, 2025:
If India’s festive season was a racetrack, Maruti Suzuki just lapped everyone twice. The country’s largest automaker reported its highest-ever monthly sales, hitting a roaring 220,894 units in October 2025 — a number so large it could probably form its own traffic jam on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway.
Domestic Delight: The Home Run
Maruti’s domestic sales shifted into top gear, reaching an all-time high of 180,675 units. Clearly, the Diwali spark wasn’t limited to diyas — it extended to down payments too. With GST 2.0 reducing buyer hesitation and festive offers sweetening the pot, dealerships across the country witnessed more footfall than a Durga Puja pandal.
Adding to the mix, 8,915 units were sold to other OEMs, proving that even rival automakers can’t resist a bit of Maruti magic when it comes to filling order books.
Export Express: Made in India, Parked Worldwide
Maruti’s export tally reached 31,304 units, ensuring that the “Kitna Deti Hai?” legacy now has a global accent. From Latin America to Africa, the humble Indian hatchbacks continue to serve mileage envy worldwide — proving that globalisation sometimes begins at Manesar.
Segment Stories: Hits and Misses
- Mini + Compact Segment: A total of 85,210 cars zipped off the lot, reaffirming India’s love for small cars that fit both the budget and the parking space.
- SUVs: The SUV brigade clocked 77,571 units, meaning there’s now officially one compact SUV per housing society in urban India.
- Eeco: The ever-dependable Eeco van sold 13,537 units, continuing to serve India’s logistics, schools, and joint families with equal flair.
- Super Carry: With 4,357 units, even small businesses got a festive lift.
- Ciaz: Well… zero sales. Looks like the sedan took a sabbatical while SUVs stole the spotlight — again.
Festive Fervour Meets Sales Swagger
Industry watchers believe this performance wasn’t just driven by discounts and demand — but by the perfect timing of GST cuts, festive sentiment, and Maruti’s ability to be, well, everywhere. From city compacts to rural workhorses, the brand continues to be India’s default car key.
As one dealership head quipped, “This Diwali, customers didn’t light fireworks — they bought them with four wheels and EMI plans.”
From humble hatchbacks to muscular SUVs, Maruti Suzuki’s record-breaking October proves once again that in India’s automotive universe, the car with the “S” badge doesn’t just lead the convoy — it sets the road on fire.
And if Ciaz didn’t join the party, don’t worry — someone probably drove off in a Brezza instead.
