Noida, May 4 (APAC Media): Shares of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd rose nearly 5% on Monday after the company reported record total sales in April, marking a 33.29% year-on-year growth, boosting investor sentiment in the auto counter.
The stock climbed 4.95% to Rs 13,972.60 on the BSE in early trade following the announcement.
The stock rally followed the company’s announcement of its highest-ever monthly sales, supported by strong domestic demand and robust export growth.
According to official disclosures, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd sold a total of 239,646 units in April, a 33.3% increase from 179,791 units in the same month last year.
Domestic sales reached a record 191,122 units during the month, while exports stood at 40,054 units, reflecting broad-based growth across key segments.
“We are starting this year with a big bang. Small cars have contributed significantly to this growth,” Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Officer (Marketing & Sales) Partho Banerjee was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
He added that the company’s previous highest domestic sales were recorded in December 2025 at 182,165 units.
The strong volume performance reflected broad-based growth across segments, including passenger vehicles and utility vehicles, aided by steady demand in both urban and rural markets.
“With 153% growth, it clearly shows that there is demand in the market and we are selling it,” Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Officer (Marketing & Sales) Partho Banerjee said, adding that the segment is expected to continue its growth trajectory unless a rise in petrol prices due to the West Asia conflict impacts demand.
He said sales of mini cars, including Alto and S-Presso, stood at 16,066 units in April, compared with 6,332 units in the same month last year.
Compact car sales, comprising models such as Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, Ignis, Swift and WagonR, increased to 80,659 units last month from 61,912 units in April 2025.
Banerjee further said the company’s sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment also maintained strong performance during April.
Sales of utility vehicles, comprising models such as Ertiga, e Vitara, Fronx, Grand Vitara, Invicto, Brezza, Jimny, XL6 and Vitara, rose to 77,892 units in April, compared with 59,022 units in the same month last year.
Sales of the light commercial vehicle (LCV) Super Carry stood at 3,418 units, slightly higher than 3,349 units recorded in April 2025, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd said.
The company also reported strong export performance during the month, with overseas shipments rising to 40,054 units, up from 27,911 units in April 2025.
Broader market reports indicated that auto stocks were among the key drivers of gains in Indian equities, supported by improving investor confidence and easing global crude oil prices, which are expected to reduce input costs for manufacturers.
