Maruti Suzuki India has made a strong start to the financial year 2026-27, with its market share increasing to 42 percent in April from 39 percent in the last financial year. The growth was nearly three percentage points driven by record monthly sales and strong demand across segments, PTI reported citing industry estimates. The company recorded its highest ever domestic sales of 1,91,122 units in April, surpassing the previous peak of 1,82,165 units recorded in December 2025. This performance played a key role in boosting its overall market share at the beginning of the new financial year. The growth was mainly driven by the passenger vehicle segment, whose sales increased to 96,725 units compared to 68,244 units in April last year. Additionally, SUVs also contributed significantly to the overall speed. The carmaker recorded its highest-ever SUV sales of 55,065 units during the month, a sharp growth of 141.6 percent year-on-year.
Improvements also continued in entry-level and small cars. Models like Alto, S-Presso, Celerio and WagonR collectively registered a growth of 74.4 per cent, indicating new demand in the affordable segment. The broader passenger vehicle market also saw strong growth, with around 4.5 lakh units sold in April, up 27 per cent compared to 3.54 lakh units in the same period last year. This provided a favorable backdrop for the country’s largest carmaker to further strengthen its leadership position.Stay connected to TOI Auto for latest updates on the automotive sector and follow us on our social media handles on Facebook, Instagram and Xpress.
