Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has once again proved why it’s the backbone of India’s automotive market. In calendar year 2025 the company crossed the 22.55 lakh‑vehicle mark – a historic high that dwarfs its previous bests and sets a fresh benchmark for domestic manufacturing. The achievement was not just about volume; it also came with record‑breaking export numbers, signalling a stronger global footprint. Read the original report on GaadiWaadi for the full data set.
Record‑Breaking Production Numbers
According to the latest figures, Maruti Suzuki produced 22.55 lakh units in CY 2025, up from 21.75 lakh in 2024. That’s an increase of roughly 3.7%. The surge was powered by a mix of refreshed models and new platform launches, along with a more efficient assembly line that reduced bottlenecks.
Why 2025 Was a Landmark Year
Enhanced Plant Capacity
The company’s flagship plant in Gurgaon and the new facility in Manesar added a combined 400,000 extra slots, thanks to robotics‑assisted welding and paint booths that operate round‑the‑clock. This capacity boost helped the brand meet both domestic demand and export commitments without a hitch.
Strong Demand for ADAS‑Enabled Cars
Safety has become a selling point. Models equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—such as the Baleno RS and the Swift 2025 refresh—saw a 12% higher sell‑through rate. Buyers are increasingly looking for lane‑keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and blind‑spot detection, even in the sub‑compact segment.
Key Models Driving the Surge
While the whole portfolio contributed, three models stood out:
- Maruti Suzuki Baleno – The best‑selling hatchback, now available with a 1.2‑litre turbo‑petrol engine delivering 100 PS.
- Maruti Suzuki Swift – The sport‑tuned Swift 2025 added a mild‑hybrid system that improves fuel efficiency by 5%.
- Maruti Suzuki Ertiga – The MPV’s new 1.5‑litre K15 petrol engine, paired with a 6‑speed automatic, captured family buyers looking for space and low running cost.

Impact on Exports
Exports climbed to a new high of 2.2 lakh units, with key markets including Africa, South‑East Asia, and Latin America. The surge was largely driven by the demand for the Baleno and the Ertiga in emerging economies where cost‑efficiency and low maintenance are prized.
What This Means for Buyers
For Indian consumers, the record production translates to better availability, shorter waiting periods, and a wider choice of trims. Dealerships are also able to negotiate more attractive finance packages because of the higher inventory turnover. Moreover, the increased focus on ADAS and turbo‑petrol options means that technology that once lived only in premium cars is now affordable for the mass market.
