Maruti Suzuki Strengthens Its Position in Global EV Exports
Maruti Suzuki India has crossed 50,000 cumulative exports since beginning international shipments in August 2025. The milestone comes just over a year after the company started exporting its first global battery electric vehicle, the e Vitara, from its Hansalpur manufacturing facility in Gujarat.
The achievement reflects the company’s growing presence in international electric vehicle markets and India’s expanding role in global automotive manufacturing. Maruti Suzuki currently exports the e Vitara to nearly 50 countries, including the UK, Norway, Germany, Japan and Switzerland, with Europe remaining its largest export destination.
The electric SUV was developed for sale in more than 100 countries, giving the company a wider international market opportunity as it expands its electric vehicle operations.
Maruti Suzuki Accounts for 93% of India’s EV Exports
Maruti Suzuki accounted for nearly 93 percent of India’s EV exports between April and September 2026, based on data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).
The company ranked as India’s largest electric vehicle exporter in FY2025-26 and maintained its position during the first half of FY2026-27. Its performance also builds on its wider export operations, through which it ships 16 models to nearly 120 countries.
Maruti Suzuki has maintained its position as India’s leading passenger vehicle exporter for five consecutive years. During April–September 2026, it commanded more than 50% of India’s total passenger vehicle exports, highlighting the scale of its international distribution network.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Hisashi Takeuchi said the company began its electric vehicle export journey in August 2025, when production of the e Vitara commenced at Hansalpur. He highlighted the expansion to nearly 50 international markets and the company’s share of India’s electric passenger vehicle exports.
Hansalpur Plant Supports Manufacturing and Export Growth
The Hansalpur facility in Gujarat is the exclusive manufacturing base for Suzuki’s first global battery electric vehicle. The plant has recently expanded its annual production capacity to 1 million vehicles, becoming the first Suzuki manufacturing facility globally to achieve this capacity at a single location.
The expansion strengthens the facility’s ability to support production requirements for both domestic and international markets. Its manufacturing operations are also supported by cumulative investment of ₹25,288.7 crore.
Hansalpur has become an important part of Maruti Suzuki’s wider export strategy. In FY2025-26, the facility accounted for nearly half of the company’s overall overseas shipments, making it a significant manufacturing and distribution hub.
The plant’s role extends beyond electric vehicle production, supporting the company’s broader ambition to position India as a manufacturing base for international automotive markets.

e Vitara Leads Maruti Suzuki’s International EV Expansion
The e Vitara is central to Maruti Suzuki’s electric vehicle export programme. It is manufactured in India and shipped to international markets, including the UK, Norway, Germany, Japan and Switzerland.
Europe was the first region to receive the electric SUV and remains the company’s largest export destination by volume. The initial European shipments began in August 2025, when more than 2,900 e Vitara units were dispatched to 12 European countries.
The vehicle is offered with 49 kWh and 61 kWh battery pack options in India, giving customers different battery capacities to choose from. Its international expansion also reflects the company’s effort to develop electric vehicles for markets with varying customer preferences and regulatory requirements.
The Hansalpur facility also manufactures the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella, which shares its underlying platform with the e Vitara and is marketed under Toyota’s branding. The Ebella is offered with a 61 kWh battery pack.
The presence of these related electric SUV models at the facility adds to its role in India’s growing electric vehicle manufacturing ecosystem.
Make in India, Make for the World
The export milestone reinforces India’s position as an emerging manufacturing destination for the global automotive industry. Maruti Suzuki’s international shipments demonstrate how domestic manufacturing facilities can serve markets beyond India, including established automotive destinations in Europe and Japan.
The company’s wider export performance has also been increasing. In FY2025-26, Maruti Suzuki recorded more than 447,000 vehicle exports, representing growth of more than 34% compared with the previous financial year.
The addition of electric vehicles to its export portfolio broadens the range of powertrains manufactured in India for international customers. It also supports the country’s ambition to strengthen its position in global automotive supply chains.
However, sustaining EV export growth will depend on demand across individual markets, competition from other manufacturers, regulatory requirements and the ability to maintain competitive production costs.
Outlook
Maruti Suzuki’s achievement of more than 50,000 electric vehicle exports marks an early milestone in its international electric mobility expansion. With the e Vitara reaching nearly 50 countries and the company accounting for approximately 93% of India’s electric passenger vehicle exports in April–September 2026, its position in the country’s EV export market has strengthened.
The expanded capacity at Hansalpur and continued investment in domestic manufacturing infrastructure could support further international shipments. Its performance in the coming years will provide a clearer indication of India’s ability to establish a sustained presence in competitive global electric vehicle markets.
