Maruti Suzuki Dominates EV Exports: 50,000 Units Shipped Globally
Maruti Suzuki dominates India's EV export market with a 93% share, shipping over 50,000 electric vehicles to global markets including Europe.
Maruti Suzuki India Limited has achieved a massive milestone in its electric vehicle journey, crossing the cumulative mark of Maruti Suzuki EV exports at 50,000 units. This achievement comes after the company initiated its overseas shipments in August 2025, signaling a rapid ascent in the global electric mobility space.
A Dominant Force in India's EV Segment
The automaker isn't just exporting; it is dominating the landscape. Between April and September 2026, Maruti Suzuki commanded a staggering 93 per cent share of India's total electric passenger vehicle exports. This performance has allowed the company to maintain its status as the nation's largest exporter of electric vehicles, a rank it first secured during the 2025-26 financial year.
Beyond the electric segment, the company continues to lead the broader automotive industry. For five consecutive years, Maruti Suzuki has remained India's top passenger vehicle exporter. In the first half of 2026 (April to September), the company accounted for more than half of all passenger vehicle exports leaving Indian shores, shipping 16 different models to nearly 120 international markets.
The European Connection and Global Reach
Europe served as the first overseas market for Maruti Suzuki's electric fleet and remains its most significant destination. The company's EV footprint now extends to nearly 50 countries. Among the top ten export destinations, the company has seen strong demand from:
- United Kingdom
- Norway
- Germany
- Japan
- Switzerland
The Powerhouse: Hansalpur Plant
The engine behind this success is the Hansalpur facility in Gujarat. This plant serves as the exclusive production hub for the brand's first global electric model, the e VITARA. The journey of these exports began in August 2025, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi commemorated the start of production at the site, recognizing Maruti Suzuki as a brand ambassador for the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Investment and Capacity
The scale of the Hansalpur facility is unprecedented. With a cumulative financial investment of Rs 25,288.7 crore, the plant has expanded its annual production capacity to one million units. This makes it the first Suzuki facility anywhere in the world to reach such a threshold at a single manufacturing location.
The importance of this site is further highlighted by the fact that it generated nearly half of all Maruti Suzuki's total overseas shipments during the 2025-26 financial year.
"In April-September 2026, Maruti Suzuki accounted for nearly 93% of India’s electric passenger vehicle exports. This milestone reflects India’s advanced manufacturing capabilities and its growing competitiveness," stated Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited.
