Top carmakers, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motor India, are betting on overseas markets to drive growth in the current fiscal year, even as they brace for tepid expansion at home.

<a href="https://www.storyboard18.com/brand-makers/maruti-suzukis-standalone-profit-drops-by-4-28-to-rs-3711-crore-in-q4-fy25-63319.htm">Read more: Maruti Suzuki's Q4 profit drops 4.28% amidst rising ad and plant expenses</a>


Hyundai Motor India, the country’s second-largest passenger carmaker, expects to grow its export volumes by 7% to 8% in fiscal 2026, after shipping 163,386 vehicles last year. The company sees India becoming its largest export base outside of South Korea.

“We aspire to continue our growth trajectory in exports in the coming years,” said Unsoo Kim, Hyundai Motor India’s managing director, during an analyst call. Emerging markets will remain the key growth engine, he added, as per a PTI report. 

Maruti Suzuki India, the nation’s largest automaker, is more bullish. The company is aiming to export 400,000 vehicles in fiscal 2026, a 20% increase over the 332,585 units shipped last year. That figure represented a 17.5% jump from the previous year and accounted for 43% of India’s total passenger vehicle exports.

“Our target is at least four lakh [400,000] units this year,” said Rahul Bharti, senior executive officer for corporate affairs at Maruti Suzuki, during a media briefing. The automaker is close to the golden mark of 50% [market share in exports], as per the report. 

Maruti’s export portfolio includes key models such as the Fronx, Jimny, Baleno, Swift, and Dzire. The company’s top five markets in FY25 were South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Japan, and Mexico. Notably, Maruti has made inroads into Japan, with just two models quickly making it the company’s second-largest export destination.

“The interesting part is that the EV is yet to come,” Mr. Bharti said, suggesting that the launch of electric vehicles could further boost export volumes.

Both automakers are turning to exports as the domestic landscape grows more uncertain. While Hyundai remains focused on strengthening its SUV and premium product lines in India, executives acknowledged that growth in the local market would likely mirror overall industry trends.

“The demand environment in the domestic market continues to be challenging,” Kim said, pointing to a combination of rising costs and slower consumer demand. The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has forecast low single-digit growth in domestic passenger vehicle sales for fiscal 2026.

Suzuki Motor Corporation, Maruti’s parent company, echoed that sentiment last month, projecting industry growth in India to be between 1% and 2% for the year. Despite this, Maruti expects to outperform the market, maintaining its dominant position.

In eary June, commenting on HMIL sales, Tarun Garg, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer, HMIL said, “HMIL’s total sales volume for May 2025 stood at 58,701 units. May is a month of our routine week-long biannual maintenance shutdown at our Chennai manufacturing facility which affects availability of few critical models. We continue to witness consistent growth in our exports volume and this is a testament to the 'Make in India, Made for the World' philosophy that we passionately uphold. Going forward, we remain hopeful of a steady increase in demand for both domestic as well as international shipments with reduced uncertainty on the geo-political front and improved macro-economic situation.”

Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai see export growth as domestic market softens

India's vehicle market witnessed a 2.95% year-on-year rise in sales in April 2025 amid a halt in the tariff war and a bullish stock market, according to the latest data by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations of India (FADA). 

Notably, the sales of 3-wheelers witnessed a massive jump among all segments of vehicles in April 2025. The three-wheeler sales surged to 99,766 units--an increase of 24.51% YoY. The 2-wheeler sales increased by 2.25% at 16,86,774 units while passenger vehicles saw an increase of 1.55% at 3,49,939 units in the same period.

FADA President CS Vigneshwar noted, "Dealers reported buoyant inquiry growth in rural areas post-Rabi harvest, driven by strong crop yields, healthy reservoir levels, and a favourable monsoon outlook, while wedding-season tailwinds sustained rural offtake. Urban demand remained robust, supported by new-model introductions, although elevated financing costs posed isolated bottleneck".

In contrast, sales of commercial vehicles declined 1.05% at 90,558 units in April this year. Dealers feedback highlighted that advance purchases in March resulted in elevated carryover stocks, while holiday calendars dampened fresh inquiries, the FADA President added.

The association said IMD's above-normal monsoon forecast will fuel rural income, along with Reserve Bank of India's bond purchases will inject surplus liquidity into the banking system, paving the way for enhanced auto-loan affordability.  Dealer feedback also painted a nuanced picture for May across all segments. In the 2-wheeler segment, marriage season and post-harvest demand should underpin inquiries.

However, summer heat and school holidays may further suppress showroom visits though IMD predicts that it may not be as bad as last year. PV retails are expected to hold steady but muted, as buyers await new-model roll-outs and contend with elevated financing costs. Commercial vehicles are likely to trade flat, weighed down by a high base effect, slower e-commerce activity, and intensifying competition from electric three-wheelers.

Overall, Fada said demand will be choppy, but disciplined inventory management, targeted incentives, and easing borrowing costs should help the industry navigate the month.

While the total income stood at Rs 728 crore in the same quarter. The company attributed the decline in sales to the overall impact on the 2-wheeler industry. In a media statement, Ola Electric said, "The pace of EV penetration growth was relatively slower in FY25,  driven by weakness in urban demand at a time when the E2W industry was largely urban focused in both products (Scooters) and distribution (Tier 1 cities) coupled with a steady moderation in government subsidies".

The 2-wheeler EV maker said that it will continue to focus on scaling revenue and operating leverage in fiscal year 2026. Charting out the plan for FY26, the company mentioned three focus areas for FY26, it said, "We will continue to focus on creating technological leadership through vertical integration.

Finally, we will continue to execute our D2C distribution strategy to provide the best customer experience while optimising our cost structures".

We will continue to deliver greater value through cutting-edge products, intelligent services, and end-to-end mobility solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customer," Girish Wagh, Executive Director Tata Motors Ltd said.

Mahindra & Mahindra, which recently announced its quarter 4 results for the fiscal year 2025, the Auto and Farm Sector CEO of the company, Rajesh Jejurikar, highlighted about the robust demand for Roxx, including three-door Thar in the country. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Jejurikar said, "Thar, as a portfolio, in April, crossed 10,000 for the first time. So three door and five door together, we sold more than 10,000".

Five years ago, the company sold 600 units of Thar a month, which now has increased to more than 10,000 units, he added.

In addition to the demand for SUVs, M&M's electric vehicles' waiting period is four months.

Further, Jejurikar has anticipated an improvement in urban demand in the next three to six months following the 28% growth in the SUV portfolio in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.


He attributed the change in the income tax slab as the key factor behind the improvement in urban demand.

"Over the next three to six months, I believe urban demand will improve. One factor is the change in income tax slabs that started in April, which releases more cash. Interest rates are trending downward, which improves cash flow and borrowing costs for things like car loans. These factors are more significant for urban customers," Jejurikar said.

The M&M crossed 22% revenue market share and gained 1.8 share points in the SUV segment this year. 

Jejurikar said that the automaker does not chase volume market share of the SUVs, instead focusing on products with the highest brand recall.

"Every time we release a new product, we want people to say “wow.” If more customers feel the same, that leads to market share gains. But we don’t want to be seen as just another car on the road with no brand recall," he added.

The current market capitalisation of M&M stands at Rs 3,86,774.77 crore. The stock is currently trading at Rs 3,110 at 11 am on the BSE and has gained 37% over the last year.
