Maruti Suzuki Sells a Record 2,76,120 Vehicles in October
Two records in one month, a table of every sales line against October 2025, and why growth in India was slower than in the July to September quarter.
Maruti Suzuki sold 2,76,120 vehicles in October 2026, its highest total for any month, the company said on 1 November.
That was 25% more than the 2,20,894 it sold in October 2025. Sales in India, with the Super Carry mini truck counted in, also hit an all-time monthly high of 2,16,789 units.
Exports came to 49,872 vehicles, and supplies to other carmakers to 9,459.

What Maruti Did Not Say
The release gives no figure for pending bookings. When the July to September quarter closed, Maruti had about 2 lakh orders still to fill and dealer stock of about 17 days.
It also does not break sales down by model. The nine utility vehicles and nine passenger cars are reported only as groups.
Maruti built 2,60,003 vehicles in October, according to its production release published the same day. Its sales from April to October came to 16,55,498 units, 27.4% more than a year earlier.
