Maruti Suzuki Becomes First Car Brand in India to Cross 3 Crore Domestic Sales

Maruti Suzuki has once again proved why it’s called the most trusted car company in India. The brand has crossed the historic milestone of 3 crore (30 million) car sales in the domestic market, becoming the first and only passenger vehicle manufacturer in India to achieve this record.

This achievement highlights Maruti Suzuki’s strong connection with Indian families, reliability, wide service network, and models that match the needs of every type of buyer.

A Journey of 42 Years – From Maruti 800 to Modern SUVs

Maruti Suzuki’s journey in India began back in December 1983, when the first Maruti 800 was delivered to its customer. Since then, the brand has continuously evolved by upgrading technology, design, features, safety, and of course, keeping the vehicles affordable and fuel-efficient.

1 Crore Sales: Took 28 years and 2 months (Reached in February 2012)

2 Crore Sales: Achieved in just 7 years and 5 months

3 Crore Sales: Reached even faster – 6 years and 4 months (November 2025)

This clearly shows the ever-growing trust and accelerating popularity of Maruti Suzuki in India.

Official Statement

Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, commented:

“Thinking about the fact that 3 crore people across India chose Maruti Suzuki to fulfill their dream of owning a car is truly humbling. We are grateful for the trust our customers have shown over the years. But this milestone is not the destination.
