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.

Strong festive demand led to the highest number of PV EV registrations ever in October, even though penetration in the segment remains relatively low.
The recent surge in rural demand in contrast to the slowdown in urban areas has created short-term pressure on overall EV penetration. 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.
Total E2W registrations in October reached 139,379 units, representing an impressive growth of 118 percent year-on-year. While YTD penetration for E2Ws grew 100 bps YoY, October saw a modest 10 bps monthly gain.

The focus will be on creating solutions that are unique to Suzuki, developing customer-centric products and services and growing with the operating countries and regions.
India's role changing dynamics for Suzuki
One of Suzuki Corporation's key goals for fiscal year 2030 is to achieve significant progress toward carbon neutrality. The company aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 in Japan and Europe and by 2070 in India in line with the target dates set by the respective governments.
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.
Here's your first look at the e Vitara, Maruti Suzuki's all-electric offering, which will be manufactured at the company's Gujarat facility.
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.

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.
AT option in 83 models The availability of AT options in the market is increasing rapidly. Currently there are 83 models in which the option of automatic transmission is being offered. Major automobile manufacturing companies like Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai and Kia are promoting their AT models.
Honda's success and popularity of CVT Honda Motors, which offers advanced Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in its cars, has more than 50% of the company's total sales coming from automatic vehicles. According to Honda, about 60% of the company's cars are sold in CVT variants, because CVT transmission is not limited to only the top variants, but it is also available in the lower variants of all the models.
Honda's line-up includes models like Elevate, City, City e:HEV and Amaze. These automatic transmission cars are not only more fuel efficient, but they offer options ranging from affordable AMT to CVT and high-performance DCT.
Increasing popularity among buyers of every category The popularity of automatic transmission cars is increasing among people of every age and class. The main reasons for this are believed to be increasing urbanization, increasing income of people and increasing trend towards convenient driving. Car manufacturers are expecting this trend to increase further.
still dependent on imports Although demand for automatic transmissions has increased, Indian carmakers are still importing most of the automatic gearboxes. 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.
Swift CNG Price: The country's leading car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki has finally launched its fourth generation Maruti Swift CNG in the Indian market. Earlier, the company had introduced its petrol variant, whose starting price was Rs 6.49 lakh. Now the company has also launched its CNG variant, whose ex-showroom price starts at Rs 8.20 lakh.
The rollout of SUVs will begin early next year with the first India-made electric vehicle and at least two gasoline-powered models ready for market from 2026, three sources with knowledge of the company's plans said.
Hyundai's first listing outside South Korea, as well as its strategy to add higher-margin offerings, signal its positive outlook toward the world's third-largest car market, as its presence in China is shrinking and domestic sales are declining.

Hyundai's sales in India trail only Maruti Suzuki, though in a fast-changing competitive landscape, homegrown giants Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra have dented its market share with new SUVs that are now the top-selling vehicles, replacing the once-favourite small cars.
This has pulled down Hyundai's Indian market share to 14.6 per cent from 17.5 per cent four years ago, while Tata's share has nearly tripled to 14 per cent in the same period. Toyota, the next-largest foreign rival, has seen its share rise from four per cent to six per cent.
“Hyundai is in a difficult position,” said VG Ramakrishnan, managing partner at consultancy Avantiam. “Its primary focus should be on how to maintain its market share and the only way to do that is by introducing products rapidly.”
Hyundai did not respond to requests for comment on its plans in India.
'Lively Market'
India is the third-largest revenue-generating country for Hyundai after the US and South Korea, and the company has already invested $5 billion in the country, with a commitment to invest another $4 billion over the next decade.
“We are proud to consistently achieve the second largest market share in this vibrant market and will continue to lead Hyundai as a premium brand,” Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chairman Euisun Chung said during his visit to India in April.

Hyundai's launch of an India-made electric SUV in 2025 will be followed by the introduction of four more EVs by the end of the decade as it evaluates plans to make the country a regional EV export hub, three sources not authorised to speak to the media said.
Hyundai on Wednesday announced it will launch hybrid cars in India as part of a broader strategy to increase global sales to 30 percent by 2030, boosting its plan to sell higher-priced vehicles in the country to boost margins.
Its share of cars priced at least $18,000 – considered upmarket in India – is set to double to 15 per cent between 2021 and 2023, according to its draft IPO filed in June.
Hyundai, which plans to sell its 17.5 per cent stake in the Indian business to the public, said it will continue its “premiumisation” strategy that has helped it post the highest profit margins among peers in India, but the gains have come at the cost of volumes.

Ramakrishnan said the auto maker will have to maintain a good balance between market share and margins after its listing.
“If any of these deteriorates, shareholders may question the company,” he said.
Hyundai's sales in India were at an all-time high last fiscal year, despite its market share declining.
intense competition
Hyundai Motor had initial success in the Indian market due to affordable hatchbacks like the Santro, while the i10 and i20 models also continue to enjoy similar success.
Hyundai entered India in 1996 and its initial success in the country, which has been a graveyard for automakers such as Ford and General Motors, was due to affordable hatchbacks such as the Santro, which has now been discontinued.
As customer preferences changed, Hyundai launched its first locally produced SUV in 2015. The mid-sized Creta, priced between $13,000 and $24,000, was an instant success and became Hyundai's biggest grossing car.
Hyundai's 13-car portfolio now has eight SUVs, but its share of India's total 25 lakh SUV sales last fiscal declined to 19 per cent from 24 per cent three years ago, IPO documents show.

Of the two new gasoline-powered SUVs that Hyundai is planning for India, the first will be based on the Bayon crossover currently sold in global markets and will compete with Maruti's Frontx crossover and Tata's Nexon SUV, three sources said.
The second car will be bigger than the Hyundai Creta SUV and will compete with the Mahindra XUV700.
These two SUVs are expected to boost Hyundai's sales by around 120,000 units annually, a source said. Industry data shows the carmaker sold 615,000 cars in India, of which 63 per cent were SUVs and the rest hatchbacks and sedans. The company exported 163,000 vehicles in the last fiscal.
However, Hyundai's rivals aren't standing still.
Tata, India's top-selling EV maker with a market share of over 75 per cent, has said it plans to launch five EVs in the next three to four years, taking its total to 10.
Mahindra has said it will launch seven electric SUVs and six new gasoline-powered SUVs by the end of the decade. Market leader Maruti is doubling down on SUVs and hybrids and plans to launch six EVs by 2031.
“What has taken Hyundai this far will not necessarily take it into the future. Competition is even more intense,” said an Indian supplier of Hyundai.

Maruti Suzuki says that 30 per cent of its total sales come from the Nexa channel and this is reason enough to take Nexa to customers in smaller towns.

Maruti Suzuki says that 30 per cent of its total sales come from the Nexa channel and this is reason enough to take Nexa to customers in smaller cities and towns in the country.
Some of the more premium or exclusive models like the Jimny are offered by Maruti Suzuki under its Nexa retail channel.
Maruti Suzuki on Friday announced that it will open a network of Nexa Studio outlets in smaller Indian cities and towns that did not have Nexa retail outlets till now. While there are 500 Nexa retail outlets across the country since the first one was set up in 2015, Maruti Suzuki says the Nexa Studios will be smaller versions of these retail outlets that will still offer the same premium sales and service benefits to customers in tier II and III cities and towns.
Maruti Suzuki Nexa was set up in 2015 as an alternative retail outlet and currently co-exists with the Maruti Suzuki Arena sales channels. Slightly more premium or even niche vehicle offerings from the Maruti Suzuki camp – such as the Jimny, Grand Vitara, Invicto and even cars like the Frontex, Baleno, Ciaz and XL6 are offered under the Nexa umbrella, while models like the Vigor, Swift, Ertiga and Brezza are sold under the Arena brand.
Also read: Maruti Suzuki's Nexa sold more than 27 lakh cars in 9 years, Baleno is the best selling car
But while Arena outlets are widely spread, Maruti Suzuki says Nexa will now be closer to more potential customers and this is the driving factor behind setting up Nexa Studio.
What is Maruti Suzuki Nexa Studio and how is it different from Nexa?
The Nexa Studio outlets will essentially be two-car-display-showrooms, but will still offer the entire product portfolio that exists under the Nexa umbrella. Maruti Suzuki officials say that the vehicle buying experience at the Nexa Studio will be exactly the same as at a Nexa outlet. Moreover, just like a Nexa service centre, the Nexa Studio will also offer after-sales support and service assistance.
So, while Nexa outlets are so far located in the big cities of the country, Nexa Studios will be set up in smaller cities and towns to bring the Maruti Suzuki brand closer to customers. “As we reach closer to customers, their trust in us increases. So our aim is to provide a better Nexa experience to customers in smaller towns. Each Nexa Studio has the potential to sell 20 to 25 cars every month,” said Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer, marketing and sales, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), during an interaction with members of the press.
Why is Nexa Studio important for Maruti Suzuki?
Banerjee highlights that about 30 per cent of Maruti Suzuki's sales in the country come from Nexa channels. And within the Nexa channel, about 37 per cent of sales come from tier II and III cities. “If we want these customers to visit our Nexa outlet, sometimes they have to travel 100 km. Now we will take Nexa closer to them. Our focus is on expanding our presence here (tier II and III cities and towns),” he said.
Maruti Suzuki has a wide presence across the Indian landscape and has the largest sales and after-sales network for any car manufacturer in the country.
