New Delhi– Maruti Suzuki India achieved a major milestone in June, recording its highest-ever monthly vehicle exports with 37,842 units shipped—underscoring the automaker’s expanding global footprint.
The company sold a total of 167,993 units during the month, including 118,906 domestic passenger vehicles, which was lower than the 137,160 units sold in June 2024.
