Maruti expects 30% jump in CNG vehicle sales at 600,000 units in FY25

Maruti Suzuki India expects its CNG car sales to rise over 30 per cent to around 6 lakh units this fiscal, according to a senior company official. The country's largest carmaker also aims to export around 3 lakh units in the ongoing financial year. "So CNG, this year, we did about 4,50,000 (units) in passenger vehicles. We are hoping to do something like 6,00,000 vehicles in FY24-25," Maruti Suzuki India Executive Director Corporate Affairs Rahul Bharti said in an analyst call. The company sells CNG trims across various models like WagonR, Brezza, Dzire, and Ertiga, among others in the domestic market. Bharti said the company's capacity expansion by around 1 lakh units per annum at its Manesar plant, Haryana largely addresses the Ertiga supply issues. Ertiga CNG demand is huge in the market leading to supply issues, he noted. On overseas shipments, Bharti said the company aims to export about 3 lakh units. "We did about 2,83,000 units in FY24. Despite the fact that we've increas

Maruti Suzuki expects reincarnation of small car segment by 2026-end

Maruti Suzuki India expects a revival of the small car segment in the domestic market by 2026-end or 2027, after suffering from affordability issues and onslaught from SUVs, according to a senior company official. The small car segment, which had once dominated the Indian total passenger vehicles market, accounts for less than 30 per cent at present. The company is hopeful that the resurgence seen in the two-wheeler market, which has also witnessed decline since 2018-19, will have a positive impact on small car sales as well. "The SUV segment's contribution has gone up to 53.6 per cent of total (passenger vehicle) industry as a result of which the contribution of the small (car) segment has gone down a little bit further," Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Partho Banerjee said in a virtual interaction. There has been a "steep increase in the prices of hatchbacks" due to a variety of reasons, including regulations related to safety and emissions ...
