Maruti Suzuki sells 137,658 units, clocks highest-ever monthly exports in March
Maruti Suzuki has sold 137,658 units in March in the Indian markets, clocking a marginal rise in monthly sales figures. India's largest carmaker continues to record to new highs in exports. With 26,496 vehicles in March, Maruti registered its highest ever export. Maruti ended the financial year with a total sales of 1,652,653 units with a growth of 13.4% over the last financial year. Total sales includes domestic sales of 1,365,370 units, sales to other OEM of 48,907 units and highest ever exports of 238,376 units.


Maruti Suzuki, like most other carmakers in India, has seen a slide in sales due to the ongoing supply chain issues and chip crisis. The carmaker issued a statement today saying, “The shortage of electronic components had some impact on the production of vehicles in FY 2021-22. The Company took all possible measures to minimise the impact. As the supply situation of electronic components continues to be unpredictable, it might have some impact on the production volume in FY 2022-23 as well."
