Popular models, including the Maruti Dzire, Maruti Ertiga, and Maruti Wagon R contributed to a significant increase in Maruti Suzuki India Limited's domestic passenger vehicle sales in October 2025.
A resurgence in demand for compact and mid-segment vehicles, festive-season demand, and new tax and GST reforms all contributed to the sales increase.
Maruti Suzuki India reported 1,76,318 domestic sales in October 2025, up almost 10% from 1,59,591 units sold in October 2024. Additionally, it reported a significant month-over-month increase, going from 1,32,821 units in September to 1,76,318 in October, or around a 33% boost.
Because of this success, the corporation was able to take about 37.8% of the Indian passenger car market for the month.

What is causing the surge?
Tax benefits and GST 2.0
The introduction of the new Goods & Services Tax (GST) system (also known as GST 2.0), which went into effect on September 22, 2025, was a major factor in the expansion.
Small and smaller cars became cheaper thanks to the tax cut, which encouraged adoption, particularly in the home market.
A rise in festive demand
The big Indian holiday season (Dussehra onwards), which usually sees an increase in car purchases, fell in October. Maruti increased sales by taking advantage of this windfall.
Weakness areas
Interestingly, sales of the Maruti Swift decreased by about 11% year over year to 15,542 units from 17,539 units in October 2024.
This demonstrates that not all of Maruti's models contributed equally to the recovery, even if the momentum was generally good.
Outlook and things to watch
Based on the findings, Maruti Suzuki seems to be making the most of its wide range of models and robust network. Future results, however, will rely on things like:
Maintaining demand after the tax-benefit window and holiday boost.
Controlling production or supply-chain limitations, particularly if demand keeps rising.
Other OEMs are vying for market share in the compact and entry sectors, which could eventually reduce an edge.
Because slower growth or losses abroad may partially offset local increases, the export segment appears weaker. (According to some accounts, exports decreased by about 5.6% for the month.)
