Designed and developed entirely in India, the Victoris reflects Maruti Suzuki’s long-standing ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ philosophy. The SUV underlines the automaker’s strategy of creating globally competitive products from its Indian manufacturing base.

Maruti Suzuki Strengthens Leadership in Vehicle Exports

Speaking on the milestone, Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, highlighted the company’s strong export performance.

• In calendar year 2025, Maruti Suzuki exported more than 3.9 lakh vehicles

• The company retained its position as India’s largest passenger vehicle exporter for the fifth consecutive year

• Between CY2020 and CY2025, India’s overall passenger vehicle exports grew 1.43 times

• During the same period, Maruti Suzuki’s exports expanded by 4.67 times

The Victoris is expected to further strengthen Maruti Suzuki’s global product portfolio and gain wide acceptance across international markets.

Europe Re-Entry Boosted by EV Exports

CY2025 also marked a significant phase for Maruti Suzuki’s overseas operations, as the company re-entered the European market. This move was driven by the start of exports of its first battery electric vehicle, the e Vitara, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable mobility.
