Maruti Suzuki hits record gear with 22.55 lakh vehicles in 2025

NEW DELHI: Maruti Suzuki has ended 2025 on a high note, rolling out a record-breaking 22.55 lakh vehicles, its highest-ever production in a single calendar year.

The milestone marks the second year in a row that India’s largest carmaker has crossed the 20 lakh mark, a clear sign of steady demand at home and abroad. The figure includes vehicles made for domestic buyers, exports and original equipment manufacturer supplies.

Popular models did much of the heavy lifting. Fronx, Baleno, Swift, Dzire and Ertiga emerged as the top five contributors to production volumes during the year, reflecting Maruti Suzuki’s ability to stay closely aligned with consumer preferences across segments.

Calling the achievement a collective effort, managing director and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi credited employees and supplier partners for powering the growth story. He said a high level of localisation has helped the company scale up while maintaining global quality standards, reinforcing India’s position as a competitive automotive manufacturing hub.

Maruti Suzuki’s journey began in 1983 with a single plant in Gurugram. Over the decades, it has steadily expanded its footprint to include facilities in Manesar and Kharkhoda in Haryana, along with the recently amalgamated Gujarat plant. Today, the company manufactures 17 models and more than 650 variants across its network of modern plants.

The road ahead looks equally ambitious. Maruti Suzuki plans to raise its manufacturing capacity to four million units a year, aiming to meet rising domestic demand while strengthening its presence in international markets.
