Maruti Suzuki posts all-time high Q3 sales of Rs 475,344 million

NEW DELHI: Maruti Suzuki India has posted its strongest-ever quarterly sales, riding a sharp recovery in the passenger vehicle market triggered by recent GST reforms and a renewed surge in demand for small cars.

For the October–December quarter of FY 2025–26, the country’s largest carmaker clocked record domestic sales of 564,669 units, up from 466,993 units a year earlier. The small car segment in the 18 per cent GST bracket accounted for more than two-thirds of the incremental volume, underscoring the price-sensitive revival.

Total sales for the quarter touched an all-time high of 667,769 units, including exports of 103,100 units, compared with 566,213 units in the same period last year.

The volume surge translated into record quarterly net sales of Rs 475,344 million, up from Rs 368,020 million a year ago. Net profit rose modestly to Rs 37,940 million, from Rs 36,593 million, weighed down by a one-time provision of Rs 5,939 million linked to the implementation of new labour codes.

For the nine months ended December 2025, Maruti Suzuki also delivered its highest-ever sales volume, revenue and profit. Total sales reached 1,746,504 units, up from 1,629,631 units a year earlier, with domestic sales at 1,435,945 units and exports at 310,559 units.

Net sales for the nine-month period climbed to Rs 1,242,908 million, from Rs 1,062,589 million, while net profit rose to Rs 108,549 million, compared with Rs 104,403 million in the previous year.

The company also noted that Suzuki Motor Gujarat, its wholly owned manufacturing arm, was amalgamated into Maruti Suzuki India from 1 December, 2025, with financials restarted from 1 April, 2025.
