Maruti Suzuki sold 2,12,384 units in October 2026, marking a 20.46 percent increase from a year earlier. Sales rose by 36,066 units compared to October 2025, when the company sold 1,76,318 units. Volumes also grew by 16.80 percent from September 2026, when total sales stood at 1,81,838 units.

Sales Breakdown

The WagonR took the top spot on the sales chart, moving past the September leader, the Baleno. The Brezza recorded the largest volume gain across the entire lineup on both a year-on-year and month-on-month basis. Meanwhile, the electric SUV eVitara reached 2,015 units, which is a 50.15 percent jump from September when sales were 1,342 units. This electric model made up 0.95 percent of the total October volume, though there were no recorded sales for it in October 2025.

Other Models

The Jimny reached 601 units, showing a 1.52 percent yearly rise and a 10.48 percent monthly increase. The S-Presso bounced back to 566 units after dropping to just 55 units in September, though this figure remains far below the 2,857 units sold in October 2025. The Invicto reached 303 units, marking a slight rise from 301 units last year and 272 units in September. The Ignis has been permanently stopped from production.

Context

Automobile sales figures in India often see a sharp rise during the festival season months like October due to heavy consumer demand and special festive offers. Electric and hybrid vehicle options continue to capture small but growing shares of total volumes as manufacturers expand their zero-emission lineups. Tracking monthly auto sales helps gauge broader consumer spending habits and the health of the domestic manufacturing sector.
