New Delhi. Maruti Suzuki has maintained its dominance in the Indian automobile market for decades. However, the month of October 2024 did not fully live up to the expectations for the country's largest car manufacturer. This month, the company sold 1,59,591 vehicles in the domestic market, which is 5% less than 1,68,407 units in October 2023 last year. Nevertheless, the company achieved a 10% growth in October sales compared to September 2024, which was possible due to the festive season.
Some of Maruti's cars performed well, while the company suffered losses due to low sales of some cars. Let us know how the sales of Maruti cars were in October 2024.
Ertiga became the best selling car Ertiga's sales performance in October 2024 was excellent. This car became India's best selling car with sales of 18,785 units. Compared to last year, the sales of this model increased by 32%.
Maruti Swift was at second place with sales of 17,539 units. However, in the same month last year this figure was 20,598 units, which means Swift faced a decline of 15%.
Brezza, Frankos and Baleno occupied the third, fourth and fifth positions respectively. Their sales also exceeded 16,000 units. At the same time, Grand Vitara registered an impressive 30% annual growth with sales of 14,083 units. Dezire, Wagon R and Eeco also managed to sell more than 10,000 units.
Performance of small cars remained lackluster Talking about small cars, Maruti Alto, which was once considered the face of entry-level hatchbacks, sold only 8,548 units in October 2024. This figure is 24% less than last year. Models like Jimny and XL6 also suffered a setback. Jimny sales declined by 35% and XL6 declined by 25%. These sold 1,211 and 3,285 units respectively.
Some models took charge While sales of some cars declined, the Ignis achieved a growth of 12%. 2,663 units of this model were sold, which is more than last year. Due to decline in sales of Celerio and S-Presso, their combined sales came down to around 5,000 units. The Ciaz sedan, which has been in need of an upgrade for a long time, recorded sales of only 659 units. In the MPV segment, Invicto sales declined by 38% and only 296 units of this model were sold.
Sales decreased despite festive season Even in a big festive season like Diwali, Maruti Suzuki did not get the performance that was expected. However, strong sales of models like Ertiga, Brezza, Franxx and Grand Vitara kept the situation afloat. Maruti Suzuki will have to bring new changes in its small cars and sedan segments so that it can better meet the market demand in the coming months.

However, the upcoming launch of new EV models by major PV original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Tata, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Maruti Suzuki is expected to increase the adoption rate.

Additionally, the company also plans to grow in other regions such as Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Central to this goal is Suzuki's electric vehicle (EV) strategy, which includes plans to introduce six EVs in Japan and India and five in Europe by fiscal 2030. This transformation begins with the Suzuki E Vitara, the brand's first electric vehicle.
Suzuki had earlier announced a lineup of five EVs, which included the Maruti Suzuki E Vitara, WagonR, FrontX and two other models, starting with the E Vitara. Notably, production of the Suzuki e Vitara will begin at Suzuki Motor Gujarat (SMG) by spring 2025, with plans for export to global markets.

To support its BEV production, Suzuki has committed to invest Rs 3,200 crore to add fourth production line at SMG plant. With this expansion, the annual production capacity of the plant will increase from the current 7,50,000 units to 10 lakh units by FY 2026.
Additionally, Suzuki plans An investment of Rs 3,500 crore to set up a second facility at SMG, which will add another one million units annually by FY2029. This expansion will ultimately increase SMG's total production capacity to two million units annually, supporting Suzuki's ambitious global growth and sustainability goals.
Suzuki's technology strategy for carbon neutrality
In addition to increasing production, Suzuki Corporation has outlined a comprehensive technology strategy for the next decade aimed at achieving its carbon neutrality goals. This strategy focuses on reducing energy consumption through three main concepts: genba, genbutsu, genjitsu (visit the site, make direct observations and determine the facts), sho-sho-kei-tan-bi (small, less, light, small), beauty) and yaramika (to challenge).
Toshihiro highlighted that the company's electric vehicle (EV) strategy will be guided by the principles of Sho-Sho-Kei-Tan-Bi, which emphasizes the production of compact, efficient and resource-conscious vehicles. This philosophy drives the development of EVs with streamlined, highly efficient motors and lightweight batteries, ultimately maximizing energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Suzuki revealed in its presentation that it plans to bring 5 EVs to market by 2030, including a production-spec EVX.
Furthermore, Suzuki's commitment to energy efficiency extends to the entire vehicle life cycle. At the heart of this approach is the concept ofkeiOr density. According to Toshihiro, Suzuki cars are about 200 kg lighter than typical European, Indian or Japanese cars.

This reduction in weight translates into a 6 percent reduction in energy required for driving, 20 percent less energy for manufacturing and less resource use overall, significantly cutting CO2 emissions and contributing to a more sustainable future. This is in line with Suzuki's ambition to do so.
Multidimensional approach key to sustainability
While EVs are a central focus, Suzuki's sustainability strategy covers a wide range of initiatives. The company is actively developing vehicles designed for high-efficiency internal combustion engines, advanced driver assistance systems and streamlined recycling and disassembly, with the aim of reducing its overall environmental footprint.
Suzuki Corporation understands that a “one size fits all” approach to electric vehicles (EVs) is not practical for global markets. According to Toshihiro, the company plans to diversify its investments not only into battery EVs but also hybrids and internal combustion engines.

By addressing environmental impact across various technologies, Suzuki aims to support sustainable mobility and meet the unique demands of each market.
Brand perspective is changing

New Delhi. Now the demand for automatic transmission (AT) vehicles is increasing rapidly in the country. Despite expensive prices, people are now choosing automatic cars for more comfortable driving experience and better fuel efficiency. These vehicles, once considered luxury, now account for about 26% of the country's mass-market vehicle sales, whereas in 2020 this figure was only 16%. This information has come out from the data collected by Jato Dynamics. Due to increasing traffic in urban and metro cities, people are now turning towards such cars which can move easily in heavy traffic.
According to this data, one out of every three cars sold in the top 20 cities of the country is now with automatic transmission. However, they cost ₹60,000 to ₹2 lakh more than manual cars. Nevertheless, the increasing demand for automatic cars is closing this gap.

Major automobile manufacturing companies like Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai and Kia are promoting their AT models.

Due to this, the cost of automatic cars increases and by the time they reach the customers, cars with automatic gearbox become expensive. However, companies like Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra have localized AMT production, making automatic cars more accessible in the budget segment.
