Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), the country’s largest car manufacturer, recorded an impressive sales performance in October 2025, driven by strong festive demand and the positive effects of the GST 2.0 tax reforms implemented in late September.
With 1,76,318 units sold in the domestic market, Maruti secured a 37.8% market share, reaffirming its dominance in India’s passenger vehicle segment. The company also had six models in the top 10 best-selling cars list, reflecting broad-based demand across its portfolio.
Sales Overview – YoY and MoM Growth
| Month | Sales (Units) | YoY Growth | MoM Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 2025 | 1,76,318 | +10% (vs 1,59,591 in Oct 2024) | +33% (vs 1,32,821 in Sept 2025) |
The combination of festive season offers, improved consumer sentiment, and GST 2.0 tax benefits — which lowered prices for small and compact cars — fueled Maruti’s strongest monthly performance of the year.
Model-Wise Sales Performance (Top Contributors)
1. Maruti Dzire – 20,791 units
The Dzire sedan continued to dominate as Maruti’s best-selling model in October 2025, registering a 64% year-on-year growth (up from 12,698 units in Oct 2024). Month-on-month (MoM), sales rose 4%, marking sustained demand for compact sedans amid rising fleet and private buyer interest.
2. Maruti Ertiga – 20,087 units
The Ertiga MPV witnessed one of the strongest surges this month, with sales growing 66% MoM from 12,115 units in September and notable YoY growth. Its blend of space, practicality, and CNG availability continues to make it a segment leader among family buyers.
3. Maruti WagonR – 18,970 units
One of Maruti’s most consistent performers, the WagonR recorded a 36% YoY and 23% MoM increase. Its tall-boy design, value-for-money pricing, and availability in petrol and CNG variants keep it a preferred choice in the hatchback market.
4. Maruti Fronx – 17,003 units
The Fronx, Maruti’s crossover hatchback, maintained its upward trajectory with 4% YoY and 24% MoM growth. With a youthful design, turbo-petrol option, and Arena network accessibility, it continues to attract urban buyers seeking compact yet premium mobility.
5. Maruti Baleno – 16,873 units
The Baleno, one of India’s top-selling premium hatchbacks, registered 5% YoY and 28% MoM growth. The model continues to enjoy strong demand due to its feature-rich interior, refined powertrain options, and Nexa dealership experience.
6. Maruti Swift – 15,542 units
Despite its iconic status, the Swift saw an 11% YoY decline from 17,539 units in October 2024. However, MoM sales remained flat. The next-generation Swift, expected in 2026, could rejuvenate demand with updated styling and hybrid technology.
Strong Performers in the Mid-Tier Segment
Maruti Eeco – 13,537 units
The Eeco van, a steady workhorse in Maruti’s lineup, achieved 16% YoY and 35% MoM growth — driven by small business and fleet demand.
Maruti Victoris – 13,496 units
Maruti’s latest launch, the Victoris, continued its impressive run since debuting in September 2025. Sales rose a massive 217% MoM, from 4,261 units to 13,496 in October. The Victoris’ strong reception through Arena outlets has already led to a 2–3 month waiting period, with bookings crossing 25,000 units nationwide.
Maruti Brezza – 12,072 units
While Brezza sales dropped YoY, MoM numbers improved. The compact SUV remains one of the top choices in its segment, aided by its wide service network and reliable automatic powertrain.
Maruti Grand Vitara – 10,409 units
The Grand Vitara, positioned under the Nexa brand, saw a decline in YoY numbers but a slight MoM improvement. The addition of the strong hybrid and CNG variants continues to keep it competitive against the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

- S-Presso: 2,857 units (positive momentum in small hatchback space).
- Ignis: 2,645 units (YoY dip, MoM gain).
- Celerio: 1,322 units (YoY decline, MoM uptick).
- Jimny: 592 units (marginal MoM improvement; low demand due to niche appeal).

- Ciaz: 0 units (production possibly paused or awaiting facelift).
Impact of GST 2.0 on Maruti’s Sales
The GST 2.0 reforms, effective September 22, 2025, played a pivotal role in boosting sales. The revised tax structure reduced the effective cost of small and compact cars, making models like the Dzire, WagonR, Fronx, and Baleno more affordable. This pricing advantage, coupled with festive financing offers, significantly improved showroom traffic and conversions.
