Maruti Suzuki Targets 63 Lakh-Unit Passenger Vehicle Market by FY31

Maruti Suzuki India is preparing for a significant expansion in India’s passenger vehicle market, which it expects to reach 61 lakh–63 lakh units by FY31, supported by a recovery in small-car demand and continued growth in SUVs. The company is reassessing its five-year growth targets after a strong FY26, when it sold a record 24.2 lakh vehicles domestically and exported an all-time high 4.47 lakh units. To support future demand, Maruti plans to invest around ₹35,000 crore and increase annual production capacity to 36.5 lakh vehicles by FY31, while it has already accelerated capacity expansion by adding 5 lakh units in FY27. The company also plans to strengthen its SUV portfolio with seven new SUV launches over the next five to six years. Alongside capacity expansion, Maruti is focusing on higher localisation, alternative sourcing and stronger supplier capabilities to manage geopolitical and supply-chain risks. Its board has also approved an initial ₹561 crore investment for four biogas plants as part of its clean-energy strategy, with biogas expected to help reduce dependence on imported CNG and support India’s net-zero ambitions. The company also expects closer integration with Suzuki Motor Corp to help shorten vehicle development timelines and lower costs. Overall, Maruti’s strategy combines capacity expansion, SUV-led product growth, small-car recovery, localisation and alternative energy initiatives, positioning the company for long-term growth while execution and demand conditions remain key factors to monitor. $MARUTI Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only and not a recommendation to buy or sell any securities.
