Export Performance
Despite robust domestic sales, Maruti Suzuki’s exports declined by 13.50%, with 25,021 units shipped in February 2025 compared to 28,927 units during the same period last year. The dip in international shipments was attributed to logistical challenges and fluctuating demand in key markets.
