Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) reported total sales of 2,13,995 units in February 2026, registering a healthy growth over the 1.99,400 units sold in the same month last year. The company’s performance was led by strong export momentum and steady demand across its utility vehicle portfolio.

Utility vehicles drive growth

Models including the Brezza, Ertiga, Fronx, Grand Vitara, XL6, Jimny and Invicto recorded combined sales of 72,756 units, up from 65,033 units in February 2025, reflecting sustained consumer preference for SUVs and MPVs.
