Maruti Suzuki India shares surged 4.12% to Rs 13,862 on Monday after the country’s largest carmaker reported a 33.3% year-on-year jump in total sales for April 2026, with volumes crossing 2.39 lakh units against 1.79 lakh units in April 2025 — one of the strongest monthly performances the company has posted in recent years.
Maruti Suzuki April 2026 sales breakdown
Total sales for April 2026 stood at 2,39,646 units compared to 1,79,791 units in April 2025.
Domestic passenger vehicle sales rose sharply to 1,87,704 units from 1,38,704 units. Within this, passenger car sales grew to 96,725 units from 68,244 units. The mini segment — Alto and S-Presso — more than doubled to 16,066 units from 6,332 units. The compact and mid-size segment — Baleno, Swift, WagonR, Dzire and Celerio — grew to 80,659 units from 61,912 units.
Utility vehicles, comprising Brezza, Ertiga, Fronx and Grand Vitara, rose to 77,892 units from 59,022 units. Van segment sales, led by Eeco, stood at 13,087 units against 11,438 units.
Total domestic sales including light commercial vehicles came in at 1,91,122 units versus 1,42,053 units. Light commercial vehicle sales — Super Carry — were broadly flat at 3,418 units against 3,349 units. Sales to other OEMs declined to 8,470 units from 9,827 units, taking total domestic sales including OEM supplies to 1,99,592 units from 1,51,880 units.
Export sales were a standout, rising 43.5% to 40,054 units from 27,911 units — reflecting growing demand for Maruti’s models in international markets and supporting the company’s stated ambition of scaling exports as a meaningful revenue lever.
Why shares are rising
The 33% volume jump is the immediate catalyst. For a company of Maruti’s scale, growing total volumes at this rate in a single month points to sustained consumer demand momentum across segments — from entry-level mini cars to utility vehicles. The mini segment more than doubling year-on-year is particularly notable, suggesting demand recovery at the mass market end of the spectrum.
At Rs 13,862, Maruti trades at a PE of 29.63 with a market cap of approximately Rs 4.35 lakh crore — and with April volumes already setting a strong base for Q1 FY27, the market is beginning to price in a potential earnings recovery following the profit miss in Q4 FY26.
