MARUTI

Recent Sales Performance (June 2025 & Q1 FY26) Maruti Suzuki, India's largest carmaker, faced some headwinds in June 2025 and the first quarter of FY26 (April-June 2025): June 2025 Sales Dip: Maruti Suzuki reported a 6% year-on-year decline in total sales to 167,993 units in June 2025, compared to 179,228 units in June 2024. Domestic Passenger Vehicle Sales: Declined by 13% to 118,906 units from 137,160 units in the year-ago period. Mini and Compact Segments Hit: Sales of mini-segment cars (Alto and S-Presso) fell significantly to 6,414 units (vs. 9,395 units last year). Compact car sales (Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Ignis, Swift, WagonR) also decreased to 54,177 units (vs. 64,049 units in June 2024). Affordability Issue: Maruti Suzuki Senior Executive Officer Rahul Bharti attributed the slowdown in passenger vehicle sales, particularly in the smaller car segment, to an "affordability issue." He noted that the entry-level price point has jumped over 70% since 2019 due to stricter regulations, leading to a significant drop in smaller car sales. Utility Vehicle (UV) Sales: Also saw a decline to 47,947 units last month (vs. 52,373 units earlier). Exports are a Bright Spot: A positive note is that exports surged by 21.94% to 37,842 units in June 2025 (vs. 31,033 units in June 2024), marking their highest-ever monthly exports. This helped cushion the overall sales dip. Q1 FY26 Wholesale Numbers: The company dispatched approximately 3.9 lakh units to dealerships in April-June 2025, a 6% decline compared to 4.2 lakh units in the same quarter of the previous fiscal. Total sales for Q1 FY26 saw a marginal increase of 1.15% YoY to 5.28 lakh units, primarily supported by strong exports. Domestic sales declined by 4.5%. Financial Performance (Q4 FY25 Results - latest full quarter available) Net Profit: Reported a 4.3% fall in standalone net profit to ₹3,711.1 crore despite a 5.9% increase in net sales to ₹38,848.8 crore in Q4 FY25 compared to Q4 FY24.
