Maruti Suzuki has gone past two lakh domestic sales and recorded its best ever monthly performance in May 2026
Maruti Suzuki has achieved a major milestone in the PV market by crossing the 2 lakh sales mark last month. The country’s largest carmaker reported total domestic sales of 2,00,774 units in May 2026 which include OEM supplies while the total passenger vehicle and LCV sales stood at 1,93,535 units. Combined with exports of 41,914 units, the Indo-Japanese manufacturer registered its highest-ever monthly sales performance of 2,42,688 units.

Models such as the Baleno, WagonR, Swift, Dzire, Celerio and Ignis collectively recorded sales of 81,555 units – up from 61,960 units in May 2025 as the compact segment has really delivered for the largest car producer in the country. The Mini segment comprising the Alto and S-Presso also posted good growth with sales nearly doubling to 16,275 units compared to 6,776 units a year ago.
