Maruti Suzuki August Sales Rise 21% on Strong Domestic Demand

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd reported a 21.3% rise in total sales to 2,19,220 units in August, compared with 1,80,683 units in the same month last year, the company said in a regulatory filing. The automaker's domestic passenger vehicle sales grew 34.8% to 1,76,971 units from 1,31,278 units in August 2025.

The company also said it surpassed the milestone of 1 million units in total sales within the first five months of the current fiscal year (April-August).

Segment-wise Performance

The company's mini car segment, comprising the Alto and S-Presso, sold 8,799 units in August, up from 6,853 units a year earlier. Compact and mid-sized cars, which include the Baleno, Celerio, Ciaz, Dzire, Ignis, Swift, and WagonR, saw sales rise to 77,166 units from 59,597 units.

Utility vehicles—covering the Brezza, Ertiga, e Vitara, Fronx, Grand Vitara, Invicto, Jimny, Victoris, and XL6—posted sales of 79,045 units, compared with 54,043 units in August 2025. Sales of Eeco vans came in at 11,961 units, up from 10,785 units last year.

Exports Dip

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
