Commenting on the milestone, Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, "In calendar year 2025, with exports of over 3.9 lakh vehicles, we emerged as India's number one passenger vehicle exporter for the fifth year in a row.”
He added, "If we look at growth of India's passenger vehicle exports in the past five years from CY2020 to CY2025, while the rest of industry grew by 1.43 times, Maruti Suzuki exports grew by 4.67 times. The addition of VICTORIS will further support our export ambitions, and we are hopeful it will be well received in international markets."
